You absolutely hit it out of the park. I'm particularly impressed with the work on the sky.

Yesiree. Mostly line etch and some drypoint/roulette work.

Surrealistic black and white print of a cat with cats coming out of its mouth with assorted objects like a grackle, tall ship and the moon surrounding it.

This is a copper etching print I made recently.

What a gut-punch. I have so many great memories of listening to Black Sabbath growing up. He was one of the greats. *sad bat squeaks*

Well done on the atmospheric perspective parts. That must have been tricky

This is my most recent piece, Bat Boy!

I drew, carved and printed it in a mad dash to make it in time for an art market. I'm pretty happy with this goober's face.

I don't even want to know anything about musicians I like. Too afraid of finding out something terrible that will ruin the music.

In that case, a decent graphic designer will be your best bet for help laying out the design and then you can take the file to a regular print shop which will be much more affordable. πŸ™‚

Also quantity of course matters in the production method you will want to go with.

It depends on how authentic you want it to look. A graphic designer can mimic the look and print it digitally. For the most authentic, a letterpress studio could do the printing where they use photo-polymer plates and a printing press. They will also be knowledgeable about paper types.

I see so many substacks linked I want read and then feel crushed seeing AI in the masthead. I'm not reading your legal essay if you throw some desecration of studio Ghibli on there to help make your point.

Sad to see what it has become. They want to tear it down of course but I think it would be best as ruins. We need more ruins in this country

Linocut of a cowboy hat shaped suspiciously like a dick with decorative elements around it. The cowboy hat has "Ted Cruz is a Dick" written across it. Fuck Ted Cruz is the vibe

Just a reminder for everyone that Ted Cruz sucks.

I just completed the drawing for a new lithograph, something I haven't done in about 10 years. I'm excited to print it up soon.

A lot of gold ink is pretty terrible, partly because the grind isn't great. If you try either Cranfield's or Charbonnel, you will probably have the better results.

There were so many incredible artists participating at this year's Print Austin Expo. I am still buzzing about some of the fantastic relief prints I saw and I felt inspired to make this little linocut.

I see this in links to substacks which I may want to read and just refuse to follow them. It's pretty depressing to see how common it has become

How many people will die until enough people snap out of it and realize what the current bloodbath in the Federal sector is doing? Will there ever be wake-up call? Will the evidence be hidden from the public? Will they even be allowed to know our friends and families are dying in silence?

because the VA was understaffed and numerous nurses, technicians and support staff have either been laid off or accepted the "Fork in the road" letter and resigned. His scheduled treatment dates are al TBD now. This is what Trump and Elon and the republican party are doing to our people. 3/
