Linocut print

So, recently I've been making some block-prints as a passion project.


Originally I've made this particular design as Procreate sketch, and then shared it on my social media.

Post of this image became somewhat popular, so I thought it is worth trying to carve and print it. 

After I made a couple of prints, I've got an idea to try to sell just a few of them, so I could recapture the worth of the materials. I set the minimal price cause it was a test drive for me, and I just wanted to know if it is possible at all to sell some actual paper prints via Twitter.

I thought I would print just 10 of them, and only 5 I would sell, and the rest I would give off as presents to my friends. But I've got more orders than I expected, so I ended up reprinting and restocking it couple of times, making nearly 30 copies in total (or more, I stopped counting at some point). 

I decided to not print this particular design again because I got bored of it pretty quickly. But this was a quite fun experience, and I hope one day I will make a better print that would become more popular and will bring me some actual money.

Also here is some bonus video of me printing ;)

I hope you liked my project & work process, and thank you for scrolling ;)
