Ghost miniprints with added watercolour 👻

Four linocut prints in black ink on light cream paper, each of a simple outline of a ghost with eyes and a smiling mouth, and painted different colours.

Symmetrical carnation print from last month! I made a post about the process of designing my symmetrical prints here: www.tumblr.com/diogenesprin... #linocut #linogravure #printmaking

A5-size block of lino showing the final carved-out symmetrical carnation design.

Symmetrical carnation print on B5-size light green Lokta paper, with the paper held up to the light to show its texture.

Made a little self-portrait over the past couple days - something to put in the about page of my web portfolio in lieu of an actual photo (perish the thought) #linocut #linogravure #blockprinting #printmaking #selfportrait #autoportrait

Linocut self-portrait print in black ink on white paper, with the lino block to the left. Your Humble Printmaker is pictured in an octagonal frame, carving a flower with a Pfeil gouge.

Last summer I remember being a little disappointed with how this pigeon print turned out, but I admit it's grown on me - I've decided to list a few of this version (printed on this paper with little recycled text scraps) in my shop ko-fi.com/s/8a38730e91 #linocut #blockprinting #pigeon

Linocut in black ink of a pigeon facing left, printed on roughly A6-size light beige paper that has little recycled text scraps sprinkled throughout.

Multiple prints of the previous pigeon linocut, spread out to show the variations in the prints and paper.

Earlier this year, I had a proper re-read of the Holmes canon, which made me realise how much I missed making little comics. I've been posting a weekly page (@ theobservanceoftrifles.tumblr.com) for a few months now, and it's just been lovely to engage with the source material again!

Lion passant, based off an etched bronze plaque that faithfully guards our wc #linocut #printmaking #heraldry

B5-sized linocut in black ink on white paper of a heraldic-style lion passant facing right with a sword in its left paw. It is a fairly simplistic outline with more intricate details carved into the mane, tail, and sword handle.

Two versions of this copy of a woodcut from the 15th-century bestiary/herbal Le Jardin de santé, which helpfully includes mythological creatures such as this Pegasus #linocut #blockprinting #printmaking #pegasus #lejardindesante #hortussanitatis

Linocut of a pegasus or winged horse (though the head is very cow-like and has long horns) in medium copper-brownish ink on light washi. It is facing left with one foreleg raised, and it is surrounded by a thick line border.

The same linocut as the previous image printed in black ink on cream Canson paper.

Used one of the beautiful wax models held at La Specola in Florence and pictured in the Encyclopaedia Anatomica as reference for this linocut of the large and small intestines and their venous drainage. I LOVE making anatomical prints and am always open to suggestions! #linocut #printmaking #anatomy

B5-size linocut printed in red ink on white paper of a wax model which illustrates gastrointestinal circulation. The large intestine has been lifted above the small intestines to show the web of veins between them.

Symmetrical dog roses on A4 washi - one of my faves both to carve and print! #linocut #blockprinting #printmaking #ornamental

Linocut print in black ink of dog roses and leaves in a simplified ornamental style. The design is symmetrical, with five roses, three buds, and five shoots of leaves on each side.

An old print from 2019 that still holds up pretty well (in my humble opinion). Might think about doing an updated version of this with my new and improved "carving skills"... #linocut #printmaking #mushrooms

A5-size linocut print in black ink of various types of bioluminescent mushrooms crowded together in a tight composition with a heavy border.

Close-up detail photo of the previous linocut.

Tried something new a couple months ago and made a gif out of a linocut! I carved the 24 'frames' into one block so I could print them all at once, then scanned & put it together in photoshop #linocut #printmaking #trans #transart #animation #gif

Print of my cats Gravy (big sister) and Jelly (little sister) #linocut #printmaking #cats

Linocut print made by alternating small portrait stamps of the two cats in a grid pattern. The larger one is a black cat with a slightly annoyed expression, and the smaller is a tortoiseshell with wide, intense eyes. A Pfeil carving tool is resting at either side of the print.

Carved and printed this miniprint today (based off an engraving in "Victorian Frames, Borders and Cuts").

Small linocut print in blue of a long narrow pair of gloves, one lying across the other in an X shape. The design is a simple outline with a few details such as stitching and scalloped cuffs.

Truly one of the best prints I've ever made. I am a massive fan of the practically nonexistent "World of Wooster", and for no logical reason continue to hold out hope that the full series will be found, restored, and offered to the public in disc format. #linocut #printmaking #jeevesandwooster

A5-size linocut print of Jeeves and Bertie from the waist up, respectively based off the actors Dennis Price and Ian Carmichael from the 1960's BBC series "The World of Wooster". Jeeves is taking a telephone call and side-eyeing Bertie, who is smoking a cigarette and side-eyeing him back through his monocle.

Radish print from a couple months ago, with and without added digital colour! #linocut #printmaking

(I CAN remember to post, I WILL remember to post!) A couple floral miniprints based on embroidery patterns in the 17th-century book "A Schole-house for the Needle". I've built up a good stock of miniprints like these and am planning to add a sort of grab-bag option to my shop in the next week or so!

time to start posting my work on here! (I've always struggled with using social media consistently so we'll see how it goes.) I'm going to try to post more process-type things here and other printmaking inspo stuff as well as the finished prints already on my tumblr #linocut #printmaking
