Over the weekend I busted out the acrylics and gave this little old toothbrush holder some new life. I’m SO stoked with how it turned out. #art #upcycledart

I’d like to get back to regularly doing #tinyprinttuesday again so I’m jumping in with this junimo! #linocut #printmaking #stardewvalley
A very small 2-layer linoleum block print on lavender paper depicting a green junimo from the game Stardew Valley holding up a stardrop. The print is placed on top of some thin green leaves.

Bookmarks for the current times (and all times, really). When in doubt, MAKE. Make memories. Make art. Make good trouble. #printmaking #linocut
An arrangement of four bookmarks of the same design in different colors. The central text reads “When in doubt, Make” and can be read with the bookmark turned in any direction. Smaller text creates an outer border with examples of things you can “make” such as art, noise, a meal, and community.

Happy #NationalBirdDay! My neighborhood crows haven’t stopped by today (might have something to do with the red shouldered hawk that’s hanging around!) but here’s a print of them from last spring. #printmaking #linocut

I recently made this custom #MTG storm token as gift. At only 3.5” tall, the detailed line work was tricky but I’m really happy with the end result! I think I’d like to do more with this vibe. #printmaking #linoprint #magicthegathering

I’m a day late for #tinyprinttuesday, but I wanted to share a couple of past entries. The lego skelly is just a smidge larger than actual size. 💀 #printmaking #linocut #Halloween
Two tiny block prints on top of a cork coaster. The prints are of a skeleton lego mini fig and a skull.

This was inspired by an eerie house I used to walk by in college that gave off “definitely occupied by at least one ghost” vibes #printmaking #linocut #halloween #hauntedhouse #spooky

My hopes and dreams for September (cooler weather, soup season, etc.) did not come to fruition but I did finish carving my haunted house! I’ve got some new orange mulberry paper that I’m excited to be printing on soon. #printmaking #linocut #halloween

For this week’s #printpromptmonday, I’m looking back at my first print to see the #growth I’ve achieved. From poorly carved and over-inked messes, to cleaner lines and work that I’m proud to share. #printmaking #linocut #artist
A split image showing an amateur carving of ghosts on the left and on the right is a cropped print of a hand with purple magic lightning bolts that shows improved skill.

Here’s quick look at my #process for prepping a block to carve for this week’s #printpromptmonday: I lightly sand the block, transfer my image using a colorless blender marker, then stain the lino with a colored India ink. Ready to go! #printmaking #linoprint #blockprint
An Xacto knife, marker, sanding block, black and white print-out, bottle of orange India ink, and prepared linoleum block are arranged diagonally on a black grid cutting mat.
