Printmaking

Any of you folks work in print making? Silkscreen, linocut, etching, etc?

I've always had an interest in the medium and i've begun to dabble a bit recently. I started with a few linocuts and i've recently taken a course on intaglio etching where i also learned how to operate a press and am now able to rent the studio...so more to come I hope. FWIW i'm still very much an amateur but i figured i might as well document my progress here.

Here's a few proofs of the design I worked on in my etching class. It's a close up of some gnarled tree bark...I figured i was less likely to screw up that design.

Here's a print of a linocut i did a few months ago of an alley.

I played around with screenprinting a little a long time ago, but it was simple one or two color designs. I decided to leave it to the professionals. I look forward to seeing your progress.
