… I’m going to have a little think about this one 🌱

Excited to see what prints you have to share!

The graphic for this weeks print prompt Monday! It shows three relief print motifs - a rabbit with a long medieval trumpet, a lady doing yoga and a weird bird. From the trumpet the words “print prompt monday” are emanating. In the top left it states that this weeks prompt is “growth” The graphic has an off white background and the details are in a bright red and muted teal.

#printpromptmonday #text

This is a Riso print (based on a linocut from at least five years ago…) - can anyone read the text?

#riso #linocut #printmaking #reliefprint #art #artshare #illustration #print
A Riso print in bright red and translucent blue. In red there is a stegosaurus looking alarmed at a meteorite passing overhead. The text in blue overlaid says “oh heck” in mandarin.

I haven’t got a whole lot of portraiture to share for #printpromptmonday. On some level this is a self portrait though…

A slightly rotund meerkat sitting like a human. He has two nipples. Over his tail there is a donut with a bite out of it. The meerkat is full of regret

“I’m Just A Paw Boy, From A Paw Family”

A sea green cat that is slightly misshapen to fit the shape of the paper as if he has been squeezed into a box. His back legs are folded over to reveal lilac toe beans. Shifty eyes as usual.
