Just kind of wingin' it on this one. Sometimes I get locked up in the planning phase. Every now and then I need to let that side of my brain shutdown. #art #linocut #blockprint #printmaking #illustration

Just kind of wingin' it on this one. Sometimes I get locked up in the planning phase. Every now and then I need to let that side of my brain shutdown. #art #linocut #blockprint #printmaking #illustration
Getting a little work done where I can on the next linocut. #art #drawing #sketch #doodle #illustration #linocut #workinprogress
First pull on the nice paper. Still finding that balance of how loaded with ink I need the linocut to be to get a solid transfer. #art #blockprint #linocut #printmaking #illustration #skull
Getting in some practice pulling prints off this linocut. I need to find something better for burnishing. I might hit the thrift store and see what I can find before I breakdown and buy a burnishing tool. I am however very much digging these. #art #printmaking #linocut #skull #illustration #benkinkead
Technically I guess this is the first "print" off the linocut. I did find a couple trouble spots I need to refine a bit thanks to the rubbing. A little more gouging then onto some ink! #art #illustration #blockprint #printmaking #linocut #skull
Closer and closer. This detail stuff eats up a ton of time. I'm ok with that though, "one foot in front of the other" is about all that concerns me. Pace is something I set and I try not to feel any pressure to set it any faster than I have to. Now if we are running damn it I'll go as fast as I possible can even if that results in throwing up 9/10. #art #drawing #illustration #linocut #workinprogress #printmaking
After shattering a brand new blade and my third trip to the art store in as many days I'm finally making some good progress on this linocut. I even bought fancy mulberry paper for the final prints. Well I mean it's not the fanciest but it's fancy for me. #art #drawing #linocut #printmaking #blockprint #illustration #skull
Low stakes practice linocut is ready for, well, cutting. Let's see how this turns out. #art #drawing #linocut #printmaking #illustration #skull
Working in your lap is an important skill one must always practice. Although I wouldn't mind a big ol' lap based drawing board too. #wedontplanweimprovise #art #drawing #sketch #linocut #doodle
Getting there but I gotta put it on hold for a couple hours. Should be able to finish it when I get home tonight though. #art #drawing #penandink #illustration #imworkingonit
I really like how old coffee grinders look. Someday I'd really like make my own custom design. I bet it'd be a lot of fun to make. Plus it's got a couple disciplines involved so you'd get to wear a few hats while working on it. Well on to inking this one. Chugging along on a rainy day in the PNW, life ain't half bad sometimes. #art #drawing #doodle #sketch #illustration #coffee
Coffee is all gone and this one is all done. I think it'll look pretty cool with a splash of color. This all just a warm up for doing a block print landscape. Hopefully some folks will be interested in some limited prints. We shall see either way I just enjoy making this stuff. #art #drawing #penandink #illustration #practice #landscape #benkinkead
Let's see if I can get this one wrapped up at some point today. Busy, busy, busy and I still haven't gotten to the art store yet. Hopefully I can get there tomorrow, I'm so behind on a couple things. #art #drawing #sketch #doodle #penandink #coffee #illustration
Another bit of experimentation. I really just want some lino blocks and some carving tools at this point. I'll just in the meantime work on a cool illustration for when I do. #art #drawing #sketch #penandink #illustration #landscape #practicemakesprogress
Kind of became an experiment with a couple textures. I need to do some more of these little landscapes to figure out what works and doesn't work for me. Also my light box would have come in handy on this. I'll have to fire it up when I get home and work on some more of these. #art #drawing #penandink #doodle #illustration #mtrainier #practice
Getting there. Next comes some hatching, perhaps even some cross hatching. We'll see I don't want to get too ahead of myself. Wish I had brought some markers for this. I really need to re-do my travel watercolor setup in all honesty though. Markers are great but I can only carry so many on me at once! It's like teaching a man to fish but with mixing paints instead. #art #drawing #sketch #doodle #mtrainier #illustration
Doing some tiny landscapes. Really this is all practice for linocuts. At the end of the day the more "manufacturing" I can have a hand in when making my art the better. #art #sketch #doodle #practicemakesprogress #illustration #landscape
