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.

A #linocut of my friend's dog, based on a vintage illustration. If you zoom in, you can read what I think she would write, if she could write.

Imho, it's somewhere between cringeworthy and passe to say "happy monday" but I really mean it when I say happy #printpromptmonday! Hope you are having a nature-filled #spring, this week's theme. #linocut #printmaking

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.

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.

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.

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!

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…

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.

these wee coyote and badger #friends I'm posting for #printpromptmonday will hopefully be incorporated into a much larger print. Occasionally these species will team up hunting.

Beaver gallery for international beaver day! These are some beaver prints I've made a long time ago. Time for some new ones, because beavers are the best animal. #printmaking #linocut #beavers
