You ever wonder what to do with your misprints? I have a suggestion

Realised I didn't add alt text to the pictures - my bad, it's fixed now!

This print was in the works for a long, long time but it's finally here and you can buy it!

Printed a butterfly knife print to go with my stiletto one! Really enjoy drawing and carving these backgrounds. You can get both of these in my store!

Filmed the full process of my latest linocut print, available here!

(ID under the cut)

[ID] The video starts with a hand holding up an ipad with an illustration of a red rose with a black stem on the screen. The ipad moves to reveal a laptop screen with the same illustration, prepared for printing. A laser printer spits out the printed image. The video then shows me cutting the design out, applying blue stain onto a piece of linoleum, pouring some acrylic medium on it and spreading it on the linoleum and the paper design. I then stick paper onto lino, printed side down, and go over it with a rubber roller. I then put the linoleum under a stack of magazines and put a small printer press on top of it.

The video goes to black and reads "a few hours later".

Next scene is me pouring a little water onto the now dried design and rubbing the wet paper away in stages. Once the design is visible again, I wipe it with a rag and sharpen my palm gouges on a handmade jig. I then carve the design slowly, starting with the stem and leaves, moving onto the flower, and finishing by clearing out the background and cutting away the excess lino.

I swipe the lino shreds into a trashcan and wipe the desk clean.

Off-camera, I cut the block into two parts. I roll out bright red ink with a rubber roller and apply it to the flower block. I do the same with deep green ink and the stem block. I align them together on the plate of the roller press, put a paper mask on top of the block, align my paper and carefully lower it on the block, then cover everything with the second plate. I pass the plates through the press and then back. I peel off the paper from the block and reveal the rose print.

The camera cuts to a bunch of prints pinned to a clothes rack with wooden pegs. Then shows me putting my signature to a now dried print. Last shot is a slow pan from the rose design up close to the whole print that I'm holding against a dark background. [end ID]

Was asked about my printing process so I filmed a little video!

This print is available here 🗡️

[ID] Video of a linocut printing process, filmed only showing my desk and hands. First, I roll out bright red ink and apply it to a block with a swirly design and a cutout in the middle. Then I apply dark brown ink to a smaller block of a switchblade. I stack them together on a plate with registration markings, then put a paper mask on the edges of the block, and finally cover it with a piece of paper, carefully aligned to registration. I cover everything with another plate and push it through a rubber roller press. Then I pull and reveal the print. [end ID]

Little illo inspired by Rise Against and that one post about how time will pass anyway

Find me talk more about making it on my patreon!

The future is bulletproof, the aftermath is secondary 🕷️

My good friend @canonicallyshort commissioned me some killjoy inspired patches and I still have a few extra sets left! They're linocut patches printed on canvas fabric with poly backing and painted by hand with uv reactive colours. I don't plan to reprint these so get them while you can!

GET THEM HERE

[alexskyline]

They sold out very quickly but I'm still proud of the design, so y'all get to look at them again

[alexskyline]

So I played Outer Wilds last year, said "yeah I'm normal about this game" and then immediately turned into something akin to an MLM hun in my group chat until I made every one of friends play it (it's fine, they're thankful). I then made us all space explorer patches using linocut - this design is adapted from the official one by Mobius Digital that they don't sell anymore, but I think its handmade nature goes even better with the hearthian aesthetic.
