Day 30: Ghost
Watch out, it might take your hand off. And if you want some spooky stuff in your mailbox then you know who to come to ;)

Day 29: Pumpkin
Little guy I made last year in my Halloween costume series, didn’t get a lot of attention so I thought I’d just repost them today. A four layer reduction linocut print. Available on the shops.

Day 22: Botanical Beasts
Been thinking about doing this sticker for a while as horrified when I see books banned for nefarious purposes, little nod to something that would piss off those types that are doing it as well. Available on the shop. https://blockforest.etsy.com/listing/1811885995

Day 21: Zodiac
My take on Leo, thought it would be the best to do as it’s my sign. Generous, Loyal and Creative, but prone to over-exaggeration, drama and my own little tilt towards nihilism.

Day 20: Creature Feature
Little doodle for creature feature - a bit selfie of a cat creature dude film lover!

Day 18: Raven
New stickers arrived of which this is one.
The new range of stickers are all a little nihilistic/political/what’s going on in the world vibes just to warn you.
Note to self maybe get a bigger sticker if you’re gonna do fine detail - I think it still works tho!?

Day 15: Haunted Forest
Felt like doing a Leshy as unbelievably I’ve never done one before.

Day 13: Yokai
Chōchin'obake (提灯お化け) or Lantern Ghost, is my chosen Yōkai this year! Always a bit scary linocutting Japanese lettering, always scared it will end up saying something it shouldn’t but think I got it right this time. And thought it deserved to be in a lovely gold ink on black paper.

Day 12: Reaper
Another little Memento Mori, when I do these they are only 8x8cm so very fiddly and really make me consider what I can achieve in a small space.

Day 11: Siren
Something a bit different from my usual today. A little tongue in cheek WIP thing I’ve been occasionally working on that might make up a part of a future zine.

Day 10: Black Lagoon
More anthro halloween costume silliness. This time with a doberman masquerading as Gillman!

Day 9: Goblin
It’s a moody adventure Goblin! Comfy sneakers for lots of walking, sword for if anything goes wrong.

Day 8: Grimm
So someone didn’t read the prompt correctly! Did not get the Brothers Grimm connection AT ALL! Oh well you’re getting a grim little memento mori instead - featuring a cherubim and a couple of grinning skulls and a hourglass to tell you your time is coming!! Not morbid at all.

Day 7: Alien
Do you believe? This little hare dude does, it’s their favourite Halloween costume after all!

Day 6: Bones
A little quickie, I’ve never done what it seems all linocutters do at some stage - a sardine can - but thought this was a good opportunity as strangely I drew a blank for bones - not very spooky of me I know!

Day 5: Witch
I’ve been doing more cartoony witches for a long time so I thought it was time for a change :)

Day 4: Faun
Living the life I aspire to, hiding in the woods, enjoying nature. Little linocut print of a pan pipe playing faun.

Day 3: Vampire
Quick and dirty two layer linocut today of a cute vamp dude either regretting his life choices or just posing… I can’t decide!

Day 2: Frankenstein!
I first made this little dude a while back for a linocut workshop I was doing but he was too many colours to really make into much so thought I'd redo him as a digital design and make him into a new card! He'll be up on my shop soon.

I’m drawlloween’ing it again!
Silly little doodle as an introduction on day 1 for ‘If I Were a Shapeshifter’.
I’m Mikey aka Blockforest, who mainly does linocut printmaking but sometimes digi pieces as well. Inspired by all things spooky with a big dollop of folklore thrown in. Let’s see if I can make it through the whole month this year!
