inked linoleum print with transfers
linoleum print; the prompt was "matters" as things that can matter, and having been given the opportunity to take a few anthropology classes I've developed this great appreciation for humanity, and its many instincts (the human desire for the natural world, to preserve and record history, to create art, and to conceptualize abstractly)

November 2 - Stamping Posters
November 2/3 - Cards
Linocutter on linoleum, Ink on paper
Stamps I made during a stamp/printmaking event at makerspace.
We needed stamps for the AAM stamp rally, and this event was hosted at the perfect time for me to make mine for the rally.
Everyone got a ~2x2" piece of linoblock to carve, but the cards for the stamp rally had slots that were ~XxX", so I cut the linoblock into pieces.
I carved a little flower to fit my flower/cyclamen motif ❤️ and then I decided to make a little business card stamp
I printed with their actual fancy printmaking ink at the event to check that the carves were deep enough, but all the stuff afterwards was done with ink pads from michael's (they're honestly a lot easier to use, too)
My dumb ass never took good pictures of the actual stamps I made before moving 170km from them. I'll add pics once I visit home.

Inspired by John dies at the end. What David Wong, resident non-chinese protagonist, saw in the window of a Mcwongalds on a normal Tuesday morning.
Gr12 assignment where we could either choose this or a still life/realistic pencil drawing of a 'terrible beauty.' We got to choose between these two because there's just not enough time to do all of these assignments in a semester, and we've done still lives all 3 previous years. All the people who chose still life are cucks.
I don't have the linoblock anymore 😭😭. I forgot to steal it when I took all my artworks home and when I sent my friend to get it for me the next year they didn't have it ??!??!?!?! It must be in that art room somewhere rahh
Lining up the prints was soo hard. Especially for the last layer because there was so little material left on the block that it would really easily shift around. I was smart by picking this subject, though. Any extra red smears just add to the blood, and whenever they don't line up it just makes it more distorted and fucked up 💀😏
