I have a lot of original paintings for sale on my Etsy sight. Being original one of a kind works of art they are a little pricey. In an effort to provide more diverse price options I will soon be offering a block print version of my previously featured Jackelope painting. Here you can see the original ink drawing, a computer printed copy affixed to a piece of transfer paper, and the linoleum block itself with the transferred image on it.
This is my custom carving rig that my father made for me. It allows you to push against the block to carve it without holding it with your hand. Trying to hold your block in place yourself inevitably results in you stabbing yourself in the soft bit between your thumb and index finger. There is a commercially made sheet metal version of this same gadget, but why buy something when you can get it made from scrap wood for free!
