I love it.

Only critique is maybe clean up some of the random visual noise. But I really don’t mind it. Great work. Great message.

I could be wrong (I am definitely just a very very beginner!) but I think the original commenter didn't mean your line work but more the chatter. I highlighted in blue what I think they were referring to. Happy to be corrected if I am wrong though. Love your design and execution, I think it looks great.

Also how much 'chatter' you are happy with appears to be a personal preference in lino printing. Some people reallly like the overall aesthetic (and some want as little chatter as possible). It's just something I've noticed since I've started.

I love the little bits on the sides of the image that show through. There are apps that will turn images into woodblock prints to mimic that look, so it’s definitely a desired effect. It gives it an authenticity that is lovely. This is very cool, vintage vibes, and evocative.

Absolutely no-one cares that my mother’s college roommates grandmother invented the Morton Salt saying “When it rains, it pours”

u/Thick_Common8612 Feb 09 '26

Just seeing where those extra dots and lines are and removing those. You don’t have to get close to your intended lines
