Abstract pen plotted print made with overlapping red and blue pen lines

For me a print can be made from any repeatable mark making process. In addition to pen plotting my prints usually include manual media application techniques like stencils.

Done! Hopefully! Will do test prints tomorrow! I'm just so happy to be done in time. This was the first time I've carved wood and it was a bit too ambitious print for a first try

Recent attempt at scaling up a smaller print to 18"x24". Not too excited with it but it has some nice moments.

First stage proof of a 10 x 10 cm linocut on Awagami Kozo paper. Wondering if I want to inject more light or leave it as it is.

In thinking (still) of a title, I remember the eyes of one of the crew of a support boat who had sailed across a stormy Irish Sea in advance of shepherding us from Ireland to Wales in a rowing race: ‘The sea! The sea!’. If you’ve read Conrad’s ‘Heart of darkness’, you’ll perhaps see another route that the title comes from.

#linocut #portrait #printmaking

Monochrome print in square format of a face cut through with swirling lines and dots. Light falls heavily upon one side of the face. The face is cropped at the brow, the bottom of the chin and through one eye.

This one of a kind artwork made with cyanotype images on water colour paper and collaged cyanotype images on assorted handmade Japanese washi papers, 11” x 14”. The cyanotypes include images of leaves, wildflowers, and maple keys.

A cyanotype is an early photographic method, first used in 1842, which produces a cyan blue print used today for monochromatic art or blueprints.

New print! The Common Kestrel is the 2025 bird of the year in The Netherlands. Known for its typical hovering in the air, on the lookout for prey. This male here is shown with its back towards us to show off the black and brown pattern there.

Stylized print of a bird of prey. With its back towards us, facing left. It has a grey head with sand color throat and cheeks. A brown back is dotted with small black dots, getting a bit larger further down. The wing tips are black, the tail gray, with black at the end. A single yellow toe with talon peeps out. Printed on a warm brown/gray, slightly textued paper.

Formosan Sika Deer keep their spots long after they grow into adulthood. They are indigenous to Taiwan, and I've included them in my newest #woodcut and #printmaking projects as a part of familial storytelling. #printpromptmonday #growth #taiwaneseamericanartist 💜🖼️

I finally picked up some decent kozo paper to run an small edition of my "Giant Claw" print.

Linework is carved into a block of japanese katsura, and background plate is linoleum. A bit of a pain to set up registration, but not terrible overall. Overall I'm very pleased with the result.

As for the inspiration, "The Giant Claw" is a terrible monster movie from 1957 about our little guy here, and I just love it to death.

#printmaking #woodcut #linocut #giantClaw #mastoArt

A color image of a linocut/woodcut print of the titular monster from the movie "The Giant Claw". The background of the print is a light sky blue, printed with carved linoleum. The main layer was printed in black with a wood block, which lends it much finer detail. It is an image of a large, lumpy, vulture-like bird. Its wings are spread wide, and it is perched (I use the term loosely, as its legs are very floppy) atop a partially crumbled building. It's neck is somehow lumpier than its body, and far too long, and its beak is crooked and lined with teeth, just for good measure. It is crowned with a tiny tuft of crazily forward-swept hair, as if a sudden gust just disturbed its combover. It looks very pleased with itself, as I suppose would befit a monster recently arrived from an antimatter galaxy. To complete the composition, it is flanked on the left and right by stylized cloud banks. The overall impression is that of an especially lumpy bird reveling in some recent mischief.

One pleasant surprise when I joined Bluesky earlier this year is how robust and active the #printmaking community is here. Follow and share your work with over 100+ folks on the #Printsky feed! 🌟 It searches for a variety of print-related terms and filters out AI content.

I was scrolling through the meme-art of David Shrigley and I found this gem.

I should hang this in my office because it describes the core of being a researcher, R&D engineer, and start-up advisor.

Still obsessed with the cutest nesting strategy going. The Eastern Snail Shell Mason Bee (Osmia conjuncta) is a small North American blue bee which makes nests in suitable empty snail shells! In my linocut I show this adorable little pollinator with a Cepaea shell. Each print is 8” by 8” on delicate Japanese kozo (or mulberry) paper.
