I recently finished a new linocut print featuring a tall Ocotillo. You can spot these spindly plants in Joshua Tree National Park, Palm Springs and Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, amongst other places.

This square lino print was made with Cranfield Caligo Safe Wash Relief Ink and Stonehenge paper. Original prints are available on Etsy.

Ukulele Linocut Block Print

Earlier this month, I listed these new ukulele linocut prints for sale on Etsy. There are four different color versions in a total edition of 12 prints. It was made using the reduction method where the same linoleum block is used to print each color. After a layer is printed on the paper with oil-based ink, more of the block is carved away for an additional color. The print can never be replicated because the block has been carved away during the creation process.
