Lino Cuts

Our guest artist, Dan Wood, came on Tuesday to teach us some copper plate etching and printmaking techniques. He left behind some linoleum. I quickly snatched it and carved this image, which is based off a drawing I did of a puppet in Palermo. I bought a cheap pair of linoleum carving tools at a flea market near us a while ago- they finally came in handy. I did 4 prints today, all experimental, but these are the best 3. I tried adding color, but I personally like the monochromatic one.
