I Hate Printmaking Vol. 1










I love prints. But it turns out actual printmaking is a fucking nightmare of technical shit! Expect regular updates of poor-quality prints until I figure out what I'm doing.

    I love these! I love your art. What process did you use?

    Thank you! I'm glad you like them. The first is a 2-color reduction lino print, the second is a zinc-plate etching using sugar lift.

    I'm really excited you are doing more printmaking! I love everything about the look of prints, though I agree with you they are a fucking nightmare of technical shit to actually do. That's why I often find myself just doing "meat tray" prints. Easy material to find and use.

    That sounds like a neat trick, Ryan - I'll have to try it out!
