Progress and Temporary Tattoos

Leave a comment

Over the weekend a friend and much more talented artist than myself hosted a printing-party for her friends. If Jess ever decides to put her work online, this blog will immediately become a go-look-at-my-friends-awesome-projects propaganda page. Anyways, she has a printing press and a lot of patience so I could make a bunch of these;

I’ve been wanting to make a couple sets of temporary tattoos. I’m working on this set of feminist designs I’m not satisfied with them yet, but also working on a set of occult tattoos that I do feel better about but not far enough along on yet.

I’m also working on this banner.

 

There’s been a lot of trial and error, mostly of the latter. We’re getting there.

Happy reminder that my Etsy Shop is live with my Lovecraft prints.

Shop is Live

After a long slumber my Etsy Shop is live again. I’ve brought back the 4×6 in (10.1×15.2 cm) linocut block prints of H.P. Lovecraft, Cthulhu, Dagon and Hastur, as well as a reduced price for the full set of 4.

This Week in Prints…

Leave a comment

A friend that is far more capable than myself in all things has let me borrow her portable  hand-press.
I’ve spent the last few days building a stock and burning through all of my 4″ x 6″ (about 10 x 15 cm) craft paper. After using it and learning how to limit my  mistakes/misprints I am having a hard time seeing myself going back to trying to do this via rolling-pin.
I hope to get sets of these Lovecraftian prints up on my shop shortly.

These were a surprising hit at APExpo last year. We came home at the end of day 1 and I spent a few hours hand printing more for the next day. I came home from the show with only 3 sets left, 2 of those were reserved.

I recently made this H.P. Lovecraft quote. I’m pretty happy with it, though I don’t expect the same level of success.

Lastly, I plan to make a set of medieval-type battle banners. The finished product should be about 14″ x 8″ (about 35.5 x 20 cm) silver ink on black fabric. Below is the first test print. Some cleanup still needs to be done, but I’m into it.

If you’re a person that finds painting, RPG minis or crafting to be cathartic or zen, I suggest trying lino carving and printing. It’s a really great thing to clear an anxious mind.
