Latest lino reconstruction of #earlymodern woodcut – this one from the title page of Marlowe's _Doctor Faustus_ (1631). Pretty pleased with how this one came out, and got to test out the new lino dot tool!

Latest #earlymodern linocut print – from "Strange News from Antwerp" (1612). The little demon/dragon was fun.

Latest #earlymodern linoprint, this time from Robert Greene's cony-catching pamphlet of 1592. I'll have several of these and other prints with me at the @dreditions.bsky.social table next week for SAA/RSA in Boston.

Really pleased with how the latest #earlymodern linocut prints came out. This one's a detail from The Owl's Almanac (1618).

Latest #earlymodern linocut is a detail of Robert Greene in his winding sheet. Prints in black and gold. Which do you prefer, @oldfortunatus.bsky.social ?

Huzzah! Finished this linocut and pulled off a bunch of prints. Needs a little tidying, but then again the scruffiness gives it a sense of movement. #earlymodern

Latest batch of lino prints adapting/reproducing Renaissance woodcuts. Loving this metallic gold ink. Would people be interested in these if I brought them to RSA/SAA Boston? (The pull-outs are from News from Scotland (1591), A King and No King (1619), and The English Usurer (1634)) #earlymodern
