I recently made this custom #MTG storm token as gift. At only 3.5” tall, the detailed line work was tricky but I’m really happy with the end result! I think I’d like to do more with this vibe.

I’m a day late for #tinyprinttuesday, but I wanted to share a couple of past entries. The lego skelly is just a smidge larger than actual size. 💀

Two tiny block prints on top of a cork coaster. The prints are of a skeleton lego mini fig and a skull.

This was inspired by an eerie house I used to walk by in college that gave off “definitely occupied by at least one ghost” vibes

My hopes and dreams for September (cooler weather, soup season, etc.) did not come to fruition but I did finish carving my haunted house! I’ve got some new orange mulberry paper that I’m excited to be printing on soon.

September brings cooler temps, the return of soup season, and my favorite subject matter for print: all things spooky!

Lots of feelings today and most days. Anger, anxiety, and heartache. Not a lot to celebrate.

This one is for those of you who can remember 1999 and still have the song stuck in your head!

For this week’s #printpromptmonday, I’m looking back at my first print to see the #growth I’ve achieved. From poorly carved and over-inked messes, to cleaner lines and work that I’m proud to share.

A split image showing an amateur carving of ghosts on the left and on the right is a cropped print of a hand with purple magic lightning bolts that shows improved skill.

#text is the perfect prompt for the hand-lettered bookmark that I’m wrapping up. Though you may need to squint a little to read around the edge 🔎

Here’s quick look at my #process for prepping a block to carve for this week’s #printpromptmonday:

I lightly sand the block, transfer my image using a colorless blender marker, then stain the lino with a colored India ink. Ready to go!

An Xacto knife, marker, sanding block, black and white print-out, bottle of orange India ink, and prepared linoleum block are arranged diagonally on a black grid cutting mat.

As for so many, the #earth and nature are a constant source of inspiration. Sometimes with a bit of a twist!

Happy #caturday! This is Panko and he’s got the right idea. Find a spot in the sun and take some time for yourself today!

My #FavouritePiece at any given time tends to be something recent. So, for this #PrintPromptMonday, I have my little potion-making scene all framed up. 🧪🌱

Does a single leaf count as #foliage for this week’s #PrintPromptMonday? Almost exactly a year ago I was dreaming of spring with this lilac print.

Progress made on my #inprogress piece: lots more sketching, brought it into Procreate (not pictured) and now it’s onto the block!

Very early days for this #inprogress piece. I made this little magic-bolt-circle a few months back and knew I wanted to do more with the thought.

#PrintPromptMonday #printmaking #linocut
Sketchbook with a pencil and a small lino carving of lightning bolts in a circle. There is a sketch of a hand performing a touch of magic showing a similar bolt circle at the fingertip.
