Test printing this pika made for kind of a fun reveal! Pikas will gather bouquets of wildflowers to dry and cache for the winter lean months. Pikas are an indicator species for climate change- American Pikas cannot tolerate temperatures over 75°F (23°C).

Trying to post again, and get used to filming my process. I really tried to ignore the camera being on, hence my hair. #printmaking

I've been carving lots of little letters lately, but this is my first print prompt Monday made on #printpromptmonday! Made this #text tincture bottle label around the hobo jungle in the sun for my friend.

A #linocut of my friend's dog, based on a vintage illustration. If you zoom in, you can read what I think she would write, if she could write.

Imho, it's somewhere between cringeworthy and passe to say "happy monday" but I really mean it when I say happy #printpromptmonday! Hope you are having a nature-filled #spring, this week's theme. #linocut #printmaking

Multicolor linocut of chipmunks on the forest floor, with spring forest wildflowers including: violets, sorrel, calypso, bleeding hearts

Non-fun Star Wars fact: Not a long time ago (especially if you are a redwood tree), the giant redwoods of the forest moon Endor (Ewok village) were clearcut mere months after filming. These ancient trees were destroyed in an instant for the Empire's insidious logging operations. #linocut #starwars

It's #portrait day here on #printpromptmonday - I made these self-portrait and favorite guy fan art stamps more than a few years ago, based on film photographs taken by our friend Learning. #linocut #printmaking

Two individual linocut portrait prints of punks

One of the blocks the portrait is printed from inked up. The light is hitting the eyes of the carved portrait, the effect is quite spooky.

Stopped at a thrift store to look for suitable cotton to print on, which there wasn't much. But I found the mustard yellow rotary phone of my dreams for 3 bucks. I will update you if it works.
