My #Portrait for #PrintPromptMonday is a dude with glasses or my husband @supertype.bsky.social who is a type designer & hence my wonky attempt at the letter "m" for his first initial. Tx @strangford.co @gemmatrickey.bsky.social @printsbythebay.bsky.social #reliefprint #linoprint #reductionprint

My #FavouritePiece for #PrintPromptMonday is a portrait of artist Vanessa Bell as it's one of my first linoprints (in red). I re-did it recently in a 3-colour multi-block, at left. Tx @gemmatrickey.bsky.social @strangford.bsky.social @printsbythebay.bsky.social #reliefprint #linoprint #artshare

Spoiled for choice on this week’s #PrintPromptMonday #inprogress here’s my current reduction block in various stages from tracing/drawing & carving to the 1st printed layer. Then more is carved out & ready for the 2nd inking. #printmaking #linocut #workinprogress #reliefprint #artshare

A recent #multi-block / #reductionlinoprint of a February sky. Looking out my window now, the light has already changed and there's evidence of budding trees. Winter is leaving. #printmaking #artshare #art #reliefprint

Another #PrintPromptMonday and I’m resurrecting my first attempt at #water in this 2021 Ducks of Schlachtensee reduction linoprint. By chance I’m carving a new block now based on the same photo, which might show up for next week’s prompt. #printmaking #artshare #art #linocut

Today's #PrintPromptMonday is based on a French card deck in which the court figures are not #flipped so the prompt forced my hand. I was going for a reduction print and realized multi-block would be better but that needs more time, so it's a #workinprogress #printmaking #artshare #art #linocut

Here's my 2021* linoprint for this week's #PrintPromptMonday #InMotion which I based on a (rather austere) 1910 photograph "Jugendliche beim Rollschuhlaufen in Friedenau" or "Young people rollerskating in Friedenau". (* deep in the pandemic)

My entry for #PrintPromptMonday #Indoors is this multi-block/reduction print I did in 2022. Based on a photo, it's Easter Sunday 1970 somewhere in upstate NY, and though recalled with a touch of the vernal equinox, we were in fact indoors (& fun fact that's me second from left).

My Brontë Sisters lino print is based on the only portrait of the sisters that has come down to us by their brother Branwell (last pic). I took my liberties, among them the flame red hair. Writing is based on Charlotte’s from her Jane Eyre MS. Print is multi-block and reduction with pencil.

Working with linoleum to make a relief print starts by drawing onto the block and carving away the negative space. In this case I’m using several blocks (“multi-block”) but also carving out more from one after the initial print (“reduction”). #workinprogress

Hello Bluesky! Here is Pepper the dog, one of my reduction lino prints from a few years back. Hand-printed on Awagami paper.
