Big ass linocuts



Things have been getting bigger at East London Printmakers. Giant new linocuts are appearing each week, being printed on our American French Tool Co. etching press. We also have a brand new giant 21 inch ink roller which I used for the first time today.

I think I need to work out a little more!

My linocut 'Handbag' which is much easier to ink up with the new roller.

I'm planning to curate an exhibition of large linocut prints in the next few months. Watch this space...

  1. Our printshop recently did an 4x8 foot woodcut for the Atlanta Printmakers Society event "Print Big!" this year the theme was Arbor Day and our print featured J. Sterling Morton (founder of Arbor Day). We love giant relief!
