As a way to get more inspiration, I spent a couple of days doing a two minute drawing exercise. I set myself a couple of basic rules (two minutes, each drawing unique and no more than two colours) and each hour I did a drawing. The picture above is some pages from my sketchbook.
From my sketchbook I drew the pattern out onto graph paper.
I used graphite paper to transfer the image from the graph paper to the lino block
The cut block.
Laid out materials: brown paper, rollers, lino block, ink, plastic thing for spreading out ink

Hey David, nice to see you again at Jim's leaving party. Was cool to check out your work, the lino printing is a nice technique, where do you actually get the blocks from?

Hey Sam, was great to see you too.
ReplyDeleteMost art shops sell it but it is pretty pricey by the sheet, luckily I got gifted a whole stack of them by someone. Next time I need to restock I am going to look for bulk suppliers. Not sure where to start though...
