This new linocut poster - "Adventure Awaits" - was printed from a hand-carved block of linoleum with Caligo oil-based relief ink on white Stonehenge printmaking paper. It's currently available in my Etsy shop.

Making a few minor changes to this linoleum block this morning. Hope to print it later this week. #printmaking #linocut #wanderlust

Made some of these Lake Tahoe linocut prints today...good to be back at the press after too long.

Last month, I took the same block and printed a long-sleeve t-shirt for myself.

For something different, I've been experimenting with block printing on fabric this year - trying all sorts of ink, fabric and heat setting methods. I did a ridiculous number of printing tests so I'm tempted to accumulate my findings into a blog post. In the meantime, here are two kids cotton T-shirts I printed using linocut blocks and Speedball Fabric Block Printing Ink on my etching press.

I'm thrilled to be included in Collector Art Shop's group exhibition for the month of July. It's at their wonderful new Jack London Square location. I have a selection of linocut prints in the show.

I've finished some new block prints over the last couple months including these two - Kauai and Ocean. Both were inspired by my travels to places like Hawaii, Samoa and the Cook Islands, as well as my son's fascination with ocean creatures. They were printed with oil-based relief ink on my etching press.

For Ocean, I used two blocks, one for the water and another for the fish, which I carved and printed using the reduction technique.
