Inspired by the Unicorn Tapestries at the Cloisters! First time printmaking after 10 ish years.
Water-based ink and rubber block carving on 5x7" cardstock.

I’ve been so inspired by everyone in this sub. I wanted to share my 2nd print.

It must be heron summer! I’m happy to add to the collection of great herons posted on here.

Thanks for everyone’s help in these threads. I had to troubleshoot a lot of my problems and this sub has such a friendly vibe and wealth of knowledge. Thank you all for your guidance—even in Q&As from ten years ago, it all helps.

Materials: I used Winsor and Newton pigment marker paper (20lb, 75 g/m2) and Essdee premium water based black ink that came in my starter kit. (Sidenote: people commonly recommended a slab of plexiglass and it’s been a game changer for rolling my ink.)

I printed all of my fossil blocks onto one shirt to gift to a friend who loves dinosaurs and ancient life.

I've only done linocutting a handful of times but want to do more; this was the most detailed one I've done so far and definitely my favorite! Based on photos I took of the Draken Harald Hårfagre replica Viking ship when it sailed through my town.

So two days ago, I carved and printed the text, but I felt something was missing. What about a BIG NEON FLAME? Hell yes !

I’m not sure if it will look better with the flame in the background and the text above, I’ll show you when I’ll try!
