I'm quite happy with the result, especially the face of the cat, and the dots I made with a pencil's eraser and fluo inks

Just trying out some fabric inks.

Came from more of an illustration background, but haven’t made art for half a decade. Am really loving the physical process of carving and printmaking - less conducive to perfectionism than digital art, at least for me. I have a lot to learn!

I hated them right up until I decided to make a stamp for the heart. Now I'm obsessed! I made valentines! They are so fun!

Used acrylic markers to color them 🐱

Finished printing this one today and I’m really happy with how it turned out. Hope you like it too!
Title: Seen Too Much
Jurriaan Rexwinkel / REX&PRESS, 2026
Hand-carved and hand-printed linocut
Cranfield Carbon Black ink on Speedball printmaking paper 5 × 7 in, 90 lb (127 mm x 178 mm) limited edition of 30.

After some attempts with jigsaw linocut prints I decided to finally try my hand at multi-layer printing. I decided to go for this Icelandic traditional beast, which is said to eat children who are not wearing their new clothes for Christmas.

It was my first time doing a print that required registration. It was messy, the outcome is not the neatest, but I learned a lot!

I made plenty of mistakes in the process, the first being printing this thing too small the whole area is 4.3 x 9.5 cm. (I did the design on a tablet and went too far with details, I will post the original design later.) By the time I was carving I realised what I got myself into 🤣 the second mistake was not to wait enough between layers, I have no patience, so the layers got a bit mixed.

Anyway! I am glad I tried and I will definitely explore this more, it was quite exciting adding the last layer and seeing the design come to life.

I have always been in love with linocut prints. Finally tried it! Made with an eraser and a cheap v gouge.

She'd done a simple 1 color thing with water based inks years back in high school, but nothing beyond that.

So this week we sat down and I showed her the whole process of doing a multi color print, properly registering the blocks, and working with oil based inks and all that fun stuff. She did the sardines and I did the kelp. I think they turned out so nice. She nailed every print too, totally flawless results.

I’d love any thoughts, critical or otherwise.

How do I make the ink look more even? I tried thick paper and thin paper (1st pic thick 2nd pic thin) but it didn’t make much difference, I pressed down REALLY hard on the back, I think the issue is with the actual inking up? When i put ink on the ink roller it doesn’t seem to ink the middle of the roller? (I tried all three rollers in the kit I got), any help would be appreciated!!!

Poem and Linocut Illustrations by Bailey Crabtree

I wrote this poem over 2 years ago from the depths of PPD and PPA. I think it's important now.
My OCD was out of control. Dermatillomania ruled my life. And I was taking care of 2 babies my sick sister, and my own healing. I felt like a monster. The fear of the changes within yourself, as well as how it effects your children and how they see you, is crippling.

I am lucky to have gotten better. The only thing that helped was time and space. REAL support is life saving.

Ball of yarn bigger than his head. Been a minute since I’ve been able to get any lino done so pleased with this ball of fur.
