Diving Loon Linocut Print in Blue

This original linocut print, "Diving Loon," was printed by hand using a linoleum block. My process begins by drawing an image onto a linoleum block, then carving it by hand with specialized hand tools. To print, I ink the block by hand and use firm pressure to print the image onto the paper. This print is made using soft, 100% cotton printmaking paper that is acid-free and archival. Linocut printing is a lovely process that allows the paper to pick up some of the stray marks (or "chatter") left intentionally on the block. Each print is signed and dated by me.

Paper size: 8 x 11 inches (off-white, cotton archival paper, 250 gsm)
Image size: 6 x 9 inches

Printed in rich blue ink on off-white paper. Choose from a deep navy blue or a lighter cyan.

Note: this listing is for the unframed print only. I use premium inks and printmaking paper that is 100% cotton and archival, which means your print will last a lifetime.
