New linocut print – Deep Sea Diver

December 4, 2012

My deep sea diver print is finally finished! It’s the first multi-coloured linocut I’ve made for ages, and the biggest. I’ve made bigger prints, like the T-Rex and Dodo, but used screenprint for the colours on those. This time I had to print and register seven separate lino blocks.

Below is a photo showing the linoleum blocks inked up and ready to print. If you’d like to see how I made the rainbow effect, read my previous blog post on how to print a colour blend.

I have made a film of the making of this print, which will be on my new website when I launch it, hopefully next week. The print is an edition of 25 and is available to buy now from my Etsy shop.
