Ethan laser cut some large "hat" linoleum shapes for me -- 20 inches across at the widest -- on April 16, 2025. We will hand out these big linocuts for artists to carve in Tucson, El Paso and New Mexico -- then piece them together to make big steamroller prints during the Southwest Print Fiesta on October 11th, 2025 in Silver City:

I cut off a half inch to make 35x36 inch sheets of linoleum
so that they would fit in Ethan's laser cutter
70% power, 15 mm/sec speed
We laser cut each 35x36 inch piece of linoleum
into four "hat" shapes
in about ten minutes

Thank you Ethan!!!!
And a big Thank You to Brian too, for designing the tessellation pattern than we used to laser cut.
