Here is my first lino cut since i graduated. i have been wanting to get back into printing for a while now and a few weeks ago i finally bit the bullet and got a set up started. For my first home print i did a small postcard sized print and one a single color. the subject matter was kamen rider (surprise surprise).This was my first time printing at home which means i didn't get to use a press instead i used the wooden spoon method which worked surprisingly well. The ink that i got in the start up kit was water base easy clean up ink i have never used this ink before it was pretty crappy compared to oil based ink i used to. So i am definitely going to need to pick up some oil based ink before i do anymore prints
well here are progress photos
1.In the middle of carving
2. Fully carved and inked up for a print
3. My work area
4. All the prints laid out (sorry for the blurry photo)
5. The final product
all of the prints i made i will be giving away if u want one by all means ask
whoa, I didn't realize you didn't have a press for these! they came out really impressive! I also like seeing all the prints by each other, its always neat to see all the results of your hard work.
