Another linoleum block print for my Patreon. I drew the image on the block all the way back in 2011, and found it recently, so I decided to carve it.

“Two for Joy,” a tiding of blackbirds.

I didn't get a ton of pictures but I recently finished this scarf for a friend. They're lino printed with Speedball opaque white block printing ink.

Really very happy with how it turned out. 🤭

Rediscovering Hobbies

Or maybe reinventing is the better term here.

I've always loved art, I've been drawing ever since I can remember and recently, I picked up block printing again. I've tried it before but not in the capacity where I can really try everything I want to and I finally picked up all the supplies.

It has improved my mood so much and weirdly enough, my energy levels as well, working on the prints is very grounding.

Anyway, here's something I made :)

Been super busy lately so this took awhile but it's finally done :)

Rhinoceros snake based on pictures from the Smithsonian's open access archives - highly recommend for any artists looking for references!
