Steamroller Printing -- Southwest Print Fiesta 2022

Big steamroller print by Manuel Guerra

from the Southwest Print Fiesta 2022

The ultimate would be to make big EXQUISITE TESSELLATION prints with a STEAMROLLER. We can order large 36 x 36 inch sheets of linoleum from Dick Blick.

UPDATE (April 4th, 2025): The big linoleum arrived!

36 x 36 inch sheets of linoleum

from Dick Blick

Then we can laser cut them down into -- 21 inch wide by 15 inch high "hat" shapes (the width/height dimensions I figured out with the "THE HAT" calculator). Four of those would fit inside a 40 x 40 inch sheet of large paper.

Four big "hat" shapes would look like this when put together:

The basic idea would be to get a big "hat" linoleum carved in Tucson, one carved in El Paso, and another carved in Albuquerque to make a big steamroller print from the Southwest -- echoing the DESERT TRIANGLE PRINT CARPETA project that started 10 years earlier.

Lisa Casuas gave us a carved "hat" linocut, and I printed it with the new FISKARS portable press at Quelab:

I inked with an older Speedball brayer that Bobbie Fultz gave us. The new Speedball brayers are inferior as they get sticky after being cleaned (apparently because they are made of a different kind of rubber):

COLLABORATION OF 5

The team in Henry Morales' studio wanted to collaborate again after the BIG INK project. So five of us at the April 23rd drawing session -- Henry Morales, Ellie Weadock, Virgil Velasco, Casandra Encinias and Karl Whitaker -- carved our drawings into linoleum and printed them together on one sheet of rice paper:

CIRCLE MAGIC

PRINTS

VIRGIL VELASCO suggested that we keep the outsides when we laser cut circles out of linoleum -- so that we can make two-color collaborative prints. So we cut 4 inch circles out of 6 inch squares:

coming September 14th, 2024

We laser cut 4 inch diameter circles,

out of 6x6 inch linoleum squares

With the 4 inch diameter circles, we made "street taco" sized prints on a TORTILLA PRESS, from AI images engraved into linoleum by a laser cutter. Then OffCenter ARTS collaborated by pressing one of their Pink Pearl eraser images, in yellow, on top of our porcupine print:

ELIZA LUTZ took the two-part circle linocuts a step further, with a variation on the "EXQUISITE CORPSE" -- by constructing four chimera variations, simply by turning the inside circle 90 degrees before printing:
