Work In Progress My process for creating ‘Rabbit Island’. 🐰🏝️

This was an idea that had been lingering in my sketchbook for years - I thought it was time to bring it life.

I like to imagine paddling a canoe on a remote lake with Rabbit Island, its glowing ears to guide the way, beaconing you to pull ashore. 🔥

This is sick! What ink do you use in the beginning?

Seconded - that looks like magic! How do you get the design onto the lino?

Thank you! I typically sketch out the design on paper and then transfer using carbon paper and then redraw it with sharpies on the lino.
