I would love to know more about how other #linocut / #blockPrint / #stampCarving artists transfer their drawings to the carving medium. My current method is imprecise and slow and I'm looking to figure out a better one (ideally, that doesn't end with me needing to buy a printer - I can access laserjet printers at the library and inkjet at the local copy shop for now). Google is giving me tons of SEO spam with a few valid answers mixed in and I'm sick of sorting through it all.

Making progress on the cat quilt top for the 9yo
🐈

Each of the cats is one of my linocuts on quilting cotton.

A quilt top in progress with a traditional tumbling block pattern (where cubes appear to have blue or sage green tops, yellow or occasionally fuchsia left sides and patterned fabric right sides with stylized tabby cats in white with black stripes either on a turquoise or pale peachy orange background) interspersed with hexagons of flat colour block printed with a cat in black ink (here on fuchsia, 2 x sage green and yellow). Cats depicted are a short haired tabby x 2, a fluffy Persian and a tuxedo cat.

Layer two on test print. I was hoping the contrast would be higher… but the only other option is black and I’m not going there (yet…)

A Shady Place

Handprinted linocut on handmade paper

With only two weeks left of my residency in Oaxaca, I have reopened my website's gallery and would like to offer you the opportunity to support my work by adding one of the prints from this project to your art collection. Pre-orders are now open on my website and I will ship them out during the first week of April.

Thanks everyone for your support!

I remembered to do a mono print at the end of the printing from the last episode. Phew! I was experimenting with a flexible metal palette knife. #cats #monoprint #ink #blockprint #catsabstractsandspaceships s2e014 #printmaking

this is a 9 by 12 inch (22.9 x 30.5 cm) piece of white bristol paper, which is pretty thick (100lb).  On one surface has a thin, uneven application of black ink.  I used a palette knife to trace an outline of a cat head. This means two pointy ears, whiskers, then two eyes, a nose, a mouth. The printing pad has been prepared with ink so that when you press it into paper, a mirror reflection is permanently left on the paper.  Because the ink absorbs light, but the paper mostly *reflects* it, the image left over is high contrast. Black on white. The subject is drawn in white, by removing ink with a palette knife so that the white paper underneath can be seen. It has an organic quality in that the consistency of the ink in some places is very organic, and starkly  graphic in others.  Below the inked subject are the artist's signature, the edition number and quantity, which is 1 of 1, a monoprint, and the year 2023, all written in graphite pencil by me, steve cooley, hi.

Hi Everyone! This is my first toot! A representative sample of the art I create. Enjoy! #pleinair #oilpainting #art #pleinairpainting #contemporaryart #portrait #blockprint #colorist #sanfrancisco #ventura

ACK. It was Thursday just a few minutes ago. I guess this post is a throwback to #ThrowbackThursday now? 😆 Anyhoo… this is day 15 of #ArtAdventCalendar. Old #linocut (25 years or so), new print.

A linoleum block print of a stylized flying dove. Its head is tucked to its breast, and it holds a simple olive branch in its beak. One wing is extended up and the other is folded in front of its head.

Here’s what I worked on today. Adding some color to my Choose Your Brew block print! I used Liquitex Acrylic Gouache and I think it might be one of my new favorite mediums.

First edition prints of my first #linocut block print. I used water based inks from a beginner's print kit from Speedball. I'm still learning how to get complete ink coverage, especially for the black areas.

Three linocut prints on paper of a red octopus in a field of black. At the bottom of each print is a red Hanko stamp and lettering indicating the edition number, and the artist's signature.

Ok here are my finished coffee brewing methods ornaments! They turned out so cute!

I think I’ll bring them with me to my holiday shows in MA/NY and maybe I’ll sell them in my Instagram stories (there’s a link in my profile) if I have some left? Not quite sure how much time I’ll have to make more.

#introduction

I'm Andy, on-again, off-again dabbler in various media. I keep coming back to #printmaking and decided to set up an alt for posting (and following) #linocut / #blockprint art and whatever other visual-media creative endeavors I get up to.

I've also recently moved my #banjo-related alt to @mayor, although there's nothing there yet, and my main account on the fediverse is @ItsTheManOnTheMoon .

#printmaking is so, so satisfying, and a tiny 2"x3" block goes fast, from sketch to proof within a couple of hours. Still some cleanup to do after this proof, but not bad for my first print in a year. #wip #linocut #blockprint #printmakersofmastodon
