Transferring a new design to linoleum. My least favorite part of the process, but it’s the beginning point for my feelings of anticipation to see a new block print! #printmaking #art #printsky #linocut #cozy

Linocut print reveals never get old. That quiet pause before you lift the paper, right before all the work turns into something magical. #printmaking #art #reliefprint #inktober

Last look over the block before print day. Little imperfections are there...and no one but me will spot the less-than-1mm mistakes. #printmakerlife #art #linocut

Carving the line work of the mountains was very meditative, but now I'm wondering if I might have gotten a little carried away with the details. #ArtSky #printmakerlife #linocut

Finished the trees, and I'm starting to get that halfway-done feeling until I notice the clouds looming over me! #printmaking #linocut #PrintSky #art

Yosemite Valley linocut work in progress. I decided to make my life harder by going with a stippling texture in the area below El Cap. I hope it pays off 🤞

My Echo Lake linocut print. Pondering some updates to this block, but they’ll probably be subtle. I’m always nervous about ruining the design! #art #printmaking #linocut #PrintSky

The excitement I feel before digging into a new design is almost as great as the anticipation before the first ink roll up. #printmakinglove #linocut #art #ArtSky #printmakerlife

New block in the printmaking pipeline. Anyone have a guess for what landscape this is based off?
