My first linoleum block print.
Needs a little touching up, but this was my first test print with it so overall I'm pretty happy.

My table image and the background art is a photo of a block print of Inverted Personages by Joan Miro, originals in first comment.
The image area is 12" x 16" and paper size is 15" x22". Combination of Multiple Plates and Reduction Linocut Method.
The following link shows the process step-by-step:
I made this print from a printing plate made out of card stock. I used scissors and an Xacto knife to cut up card stock and I then glued the pieces to another piece of card stock using Elmer’s white glue and then glued the whole thing to a thin sheet of wood. I sealed the plate by painting it with a thin coat of acrylic gloss medium. You can read more about my process on my blog at: www.jimblodget.com/blog/birches-block-print/ .

Allen W. Seaby (1867-1953) was influenced by pioneer woodblock printmaker Frank Morley Fletcher and was a Professor of Fine Art at the University of Reading from 1920 to 1933. He is well known for his many book illustrations and woodblock prints of birds. Probably carved and printed in the 1920s this portrait of Shelducks in flight is masterfully simple in how he handles the ducks in flight against an extremely simple background. His work captures the brush-drawn quality of Japanese woodblock prints perhaps more than any other Western artist.
One man's trash is another man's treasure. "DESERT ISLAND", Tugboat Printshop's latest woodcut release, reimagines a classic desert island. Though a desert island would suggest a lack of amenities, this island is brimming with them. Abandoned mattresses, coolers, milk jugs, and more! A castaway's paradise of knick knacks for refashioning. All greatly useful to a shipwrecked MacGyver! A wonderance of excess becomes a ray of hope scenario.
We're happy to report that today, "DESERT ISLAND" begins its pre-order!
Pre-ordering reserves a limited edition copy of "DESERT ISLAND" for delivery when the color print is completed. For complete details about purchasing the "DESERT ISLAND" woodcut, please visit OUR SHOP! tugboatprintshop.com/woodcut_desertisland.htm

Instructor critique is appreciated.
I wanted to use this week to focus on "get out of your comfort zone" while working with color. I tend to gravitate towards bright colors so I tried keep to muted more subtle colors. These were mixed using ONLY the primary colors plus black and white. I am pleased with what I ended up with. They aren't spot-on, but I'm satisfied.
Yay completed! This is a new custom monogram stamp I made for Kiirsti's wedding, now on its way to Ontario, Canada.

It's based on a late medieval design found in a Dover art book. I did this and some other linoleum block prints about 25 years ago. Decided to dust them off and ink them up again!

Selenium by Jon Gregory. Two block, three colour reduction woodcut on paper (6x6ins). Hand printed and burnished with an old tin of mints and a teaspoon. Lined up with a lot of luck and a little bit of brandy to steady the old nerves.
I put this together to show the various stages that went into my Selenium print. Two blocks were used, the first to give the bright orange background (left column) and the second to do both the light (middle column) and dark (right column) grey layers. I'd originally planned to do a black outline layer as well but didn't think it was needed once I'd done the dark grey.
It shows an old-fashioned camera fitted with a selenium cell lightmeter. The big swirl represents light passing through the meter, but I'm sure you worked that out already. I printed the background in a nifty shade of violently bright orange because I like orange.

Newest addition to our bedroom!
I made the block print design just for us! You might see it on future Yellow Canoe items though...tooting my own horn here, I'm really quite happy about the way it turned out!
I bought the hooks from Pier One and had something in mind but that something kept changing. After about 30 coats of different paint (seriously. not even kidding.) I finally figured it out.
I had carved a block with my store name on it to block print onto fabric bags. ..and since I have several rolls of kraft tape, I decided to make some labels for my flower brooch packaging.
