I almost enjoy carving now.  I discovered that the "V tool" can give me a variation of line thickness, which I was craving.  I also tried to erase the dark pencil marks after I cut, trying to get a better sense of how the linoleum would print:

I carved this at Slow Burn Coffee 
on April 23rd


Thoughts
  • Perhaps I should roll up the linoleum with water soluble black ink, and let that dry.  That way I could see what else I wanted to cut before printing.  I think this would be messy were I to do it with Akua.
  • Tandy Leather sells a "pull" tool, according to Dennis.
  • Rich says that Goop will clean the Akua ink off my hands
  • Julianna told me that there are two kinds of Cranfield Caligo safe wash inks -- Relief and Etching.  I like the Cranfield tubes
  • Perhaps drawing with a water soluble graphite would be a good way to create an image on the linoleum square before cutting.  



We printed Ken Romig's linocut:


Nice composition

  • Ganwerk -- it's interesting to see how he is pushing AI in Hamburg
