“So they’re like, printed from your computer?”

Almost all of my prints are done using a traditional linocut method. Linocut requires a lot of planning from start to finish.

First I’ll design the print by sketching it on my tablet. That design is printed and transferred to a block of prepped linoleum. Once transferred, it is tediously hand-carved with very sharp carving tools.

When carving is done, then comes the printing. The block is rolled up with a specific relief-printing ink, covered in an archival printmaking paper, and sent through a very strong press. Out of the press, the paper is peeled back to reveal the finished print.

This process is great for making many copies of the same image, so I can always keep one for myself.
