Illegal imigrants: what do you have to live to cross illegaly a border? After analizing EU migration politics and getting in some actions in Lesvos island dedicated to close a detention center Pagani, i made a book telling a personal story of a boy Azadi from Afghanistan, which is at the same time the story of all illegal imigrants.

In October, I attended a wonderful print-making workshop. This is the image I created then with a suitable mat. Thank you for your appreciation, Gail (cell phone image)
Some linocut artists can attack blank lino and 'draw' their picture with the gouge, but not me. I need a sketch to guide my cutting. For a long time I have done this by transferring a photocopy or laser print using solvent to soften the toner so it sticks to the lino. You can't do this with inkjet prints, but here's a way round it. Load your printer with gummed paper (Flat Sam, Pancake, that sort of thing) the wrong way up so it prints on the gummed side.
If you then place the paper print face down on the lino, put a piece of damp tissue on the top and press it for a second or two, the water softens the gum so it sticks to the lino, taking the ink with it.
This is my new (used) press!!! It is a Ray Trayle etching press. He is a retired engineer who built around 63 presses--all are different and unique. Mine is dual motor/fly wheel action, press bed is 32" across. It's so pretty! I bought it with the money I earned from this commission---->(next pic)
