I've been carving lots of little letters lately, but this is my first print prompt Monday made on #printpromptmonday! Made this #text tincture bottle label around the hobo jungle in the sun for my friend.

Making some greeting cards! I made this #linocut based on a vintage illustration of my neighbor's dog. If you zoom in you can maybe see what I think she would write, if she could write.

A linocut print of Jawas from Star Wars dismantling a feller buncher (logging equipment branded with the Empire's logo) in a clearcut ancient Redwood forest (where the Ewok village on the forest moon Endor was filmed

Non-fun Star Wars fact:

Not a long time ago (especially if you are a redwood tree), the giant redwoods of the forest moon Endor (Ewok village) were clearcut mere months after filming. These ancient trees were destroyed in an instant for the Empire's insidious logging operations.

Wooden projects, one letterbox style and one stand for cards

Lots of beginner mistakes but I'm pretty pleased with myself! New market displays to be stained. A beautiful spring day for learning how to work wood.

After getting the precise cuts just right, jigsaw block printing is a really simple and satisfying way to print in multi-color.

Two individual linocut portrait prints of punks

One of the blocks the portrait is printed from inked up. The light is hitting the eyes of the carved portrait, the effect is quite spooky.

It's #portrait day here on #printpromptmonday - I made these self-portrait and favorite guy fan art stamps more than a few years ago, based on film photographs taken by our friend Learning.

mini-zine of β€œ40 Ways to Fight Fascists” I always love when people take my 40 Ways to Fight Fascists: Street-Legal Tactics for Community Activists zine and do cool shit with it. Stitches and String Theory (who you can find on Bluesky) too…

I love it when people take my "40 Ways to Fight Fascists" guide and do cool shit with it! Recently
@stitch-theory.bsky.social took the list and turned it into a mini-zine: it’s one piece of paper which folds up, origami-style. Please print, fold & distro!

Stopped at a thrift store to look for suitable cotton to print on, which there wasn't much. But I found the mustard yellow rotary phone of my dreams for 3 bucks. I will update you if it works.

I love all of this. And a farmer consultant would be incredibly revolutionary too, because no game I have ever played has consulted a farmer
