New Series of Linoleum and Woodblock Prints

I’ve been working on a series of prints that combine linocuts and woodcuts titled, Fleeting Moment. They’re multicolor prints made on white Rives BFK paper using my Conrad monotype press. The series includes five prints so far, each being unique.

I posted a video on Instagram of a woodblock layer being printed on Fleeting Moment III.

These are several other relief prints in this series.

Two Small Abstract Block Prints

These are a couple small abstract linoleum block prints that I made. I hand carved the patterns and printed the linocuts on 8“x10” paper. These open edition prints are titled, Askew I and Currents I, and are available on Etsy.

SFCB's 20th Annual Roadworks Steamroller Printing Festival on September 24, 2023

I’ll have a booth at the San Francisco Center for the Book’s annual printmaking festival called Roadworks. It’s a great event that I’ve participated in many times. As the SFCB says,

“Roadworks is a family-friendly, daylong block party featuring public printmaking, bookmaking, and hands-on art activities. It celebrates printmaking and the art of the book in a spectacular way: printing 3’ by 3’ carved linoleum blocks using a 7-ton 1924 Buffalo Springfield steamroller.”
