I joined a community studio space and now I have access to so much cool stuff!
like I mostly joined to have a dedicated space for working on my prints (my desk is not big enough for larger stuff) but there's also screenprinting, letterpress, risograph AND ceramics. lil overwhelming but so cool!!

A sheet of lino with the faint image of a child in a hand print silhouette on it.

A sheet of lino with the faint image of a child in a hand print silhouette on it.

you can see how the main body of the image transferred fairly well, but I had to use the copy paper to get the details in there. It's still not exact but it's 100% workable.

Pretty excited to start carving tomorrow :D

the prep for my newest print went... it went.
I learnt a bunch about how the process works which was great
learnt that it really doesn't work well for superfine details. less great

ended up using the carbon paper, but only for the central details so it wasn't as big a faff as it coulda been :')

... play. It doesn't play well with the toner. 🫠

Alas, the acetone transfer did not pay well with whatever toner the local print shop uses:/

Gonna give the iron method a go tomorrow, and if that doesn't work I've got carbon transfer paper ;^;

for smaller/simpler pieces I recc using tracing paper to transfer designs, or draw direct on the lino (works better on the rubber blocks tbh) and! also use either thinned out acrylics or a stamp ink pad to stain the surface before carving! gives contrast & makes it easier to see where you've carved

I've been prepping my next lino carve. first Big piece! A3!

I'm trying the acetone + laser print transfer method for my design for the first time. little bit nervewracking tbh
if it doesn't work I'm gonna need to buy a big ol carbon paper sheet and get to redrawing everything ;a;

i think we all need to step back and realize that peak art was made when neolithic pot in the shape of a pig was fired

Keir Starmer giving a speech at the lectern. Next to him is a sign that reads "Pride in Place". Near identical signs under it read "not the gay pride", "not that I have a problem with that", "I love the gays, and the lesbians", "it's just, trans people, you know?"

All the lyrics to 'Rasputin' are funny but I love 'it was a shame how he carried on'. It sounds like something your gran would say about a disgraced quiz-show host.

the "I wake up, there is..." meme

photo of a tabby cat with stubby little legs, standing and looking at the camera, on a white background.

top text: "I wake up"
bottom text: "there is something wronger with Britain"

there are two circular arrows between the text, going around the cat

First panel: a line of modern electric cars.

Second panel: A woman and a man are talking. She is holding a book.
She says "It's hard to get excited about these new electric cars when I've seen much ambitious possibilities in fiction"
"Sci-fi fan,huh?" he asks

Third panel. 
"Uhh... yeah. Sci-fi." she says unsurely, looking at her book.

Fourth panel: We can see a page of the book. It shows animals happily driving food-shaped cars in the style of Richard Scarry. The cars are labelled: Pickle car, Apple car and Hotdog car.

Single panel cartoon in the style of Gary Larson Far side.

Hacker T. Dog, a dog puppet in a flashy shirt, pulls a goofy smile behind a table of 4 crudely made tools as his co-host, Lauren, puts her thumb and forefinger to her nose trying to stifle laughter.

Caption reads "just normal tools."
