Lino print image in black and white depicting a mother holding a child.

I made this for a friend based on a photo of her and her daughter. I love how with #linocut a few simple lines can express so much ...

Two carved lino printing blocks. The one on the left is inked in yellow and the one on the right is inked in black. The layers combine to create a print of black bee on yellow honeycomb

Bzzzzz - a lil #linocut experiment #bee #printmaking

In honor of #womenshistorymonth we offer a 1929 color linocut by #SybilAndrews, "Haulers." Andrews is among the most noted printmakers of the early 20th century, influenced by her early training in welding to her time at the #GrosvenorSchoolofModernArt

I don't want to be on ghastly x anymore but it's where a lot of my sales come from so this post is a brazen request for shares to spread the word about my work on a kinder platform that isn't run by a dangerous megalomaniac!

A selection of small linoprint images printed onto used teabags. The repeated images show a steaming cup of tea, a jug, and a kettle

Three small linoprint images printed onto used teabags. Each print is pasted onto a black card. The images are 'tea' themed, with a steaming cup of tea, a jug, and a kettle.

This was a neat little experiment - the challenge from our local print club was to incorporate something recycled in our #printmaking. I had been hoarding used #teabags for a while, so ended up making these cute little #linocut minatures. #tea #linoprinting #teapot

I've ditched insta and twitter - never felt better. Bsky #linocut feed is my only social media these days ... and not on my phone. Glance at news headlines once a day, make occasional tangible contributions to social change (e.g. through action or donation) make things, grow things, play, seek joy.

All good learning!

A selection of 16 prints by different artists laid on a table. All feature the colour yellow. Images include abstracts, a chair, pots, leaves, an insect, and a flower.

I loved attending my first branch meeting of PCANZ (print council) last year. A joy to meet experienced #printmakers. Each month there is a challenge. This time it was to #print using yellow. Proud to see my #linocut wētā bug among all those professional looking images.

Welcome! Your work looks great - look forward to seeing more.

Very effective image …

Yes, this! And I love how with Lino it manifests differently - and often better - as a print!

Definitely pops more in the second pic …

Nice job!

A black and white picture of- look. There's no way around this, it looks like a black triangle of pubic hair in between two plump thighs. I guess I could make some crack about Otago's fertile rolling fields, but I am a humble lesbian currently experiencing a Pavlovian reflex. I'm looking around for her cat right now. I'm going to leave lipstick marks on her thighs and she's going to stop me and ask what shade that is. She has four other flatmates, all of whom are going to have to pretend like they didn't hear us fucking when I meet them in the kitchen two hours later for leftover tofu stirfry. My girlfriend is in another city and I miss her.

Meanwhile here in NZ it’s the middle of summer and I spent Monday on the beach with friends feeling anything but Blue! I love reminding myself that we live on a globe so when it’s dark and gloomy at my place it’s because it is a chance for other fellow humans to enjoy the sunshine!

Good on you for your overhaul … Hope you like it here!

Welcome - I hope you like it here! I’m in awe of you making the leap from career into full time art making. Wohooo!

So much nostalgia evoked by your image - love it!

Wow!

Good on you for phasing out … it’s much nicer here!

Hi there! I felt exactly the same way about instagram and am very glad I made the move. It’s important to feel you are living in alignment with your values I think! Hope you find good connections here … there’s a lovely community of printmakers.

I share your obsession with tea and teapots … have you tried creating images on used teabags? I recently made these little #Linoprints which I turned into cards

Welcome - reckon you’ll like it here Arne!

Welcome Brooke! I like your block print!

Welcome Alice … it’s lovely here! Check out the feeds and you’ll find lots to enjoy …

Thanks Alan!

I had to look it up but now I have done, I consider your words a huge compliment! Great prints in ‘la bestiaire’!
