Block Prints and Foot in Mouth (I mean In The Door!)

Photobucket

This week's comic in the back page of City Pages, the Twin Cities most popular alt-weekly. Fun stuff!

My friend Heather asked me to teach her how to lino-block print, so I brought over my cutter and some linoleum, and we spent the evening working on art. This was one of the two prints I made.

I of course, have been using this Essdee Baren kit. It's pretty neat. Heather used the Speedball kit. Traditional and reliable, but doesn't include the neat baren with it!

The purpose was for her to make her valentine's day cards, so following suite, I made one of my own.

Minneapolis Institute of Art is putting on their once-every-ten-(10)-years show, called Foot In The Door. It was created to show off Minnesota Artists, and allow many to put on their resumes that they've had exhibition experience at a major metropolitan art museum. You read that first sentence right, it only happens every 10 years.

I didn't have time to take a proper scan or better photo, but this is my submission. Seeing as there's about 4500+ pieces going up this show, I figure giving you an idea of what it looks like will be helpful.

We're selling these Essdee Baren Kits at Wet Paint. Do you do any linoleum block printing? If not, want to start? This neat little kit includes five blades, a smoothing baren (burnisher), and a handle. It also comes with two hard-rubber discs that can be cut and designed, but have a sticky back that allows them to be stuck to the bottom of the baren, making it a rubber stamp!
Buy one with us, and we throw it 10 of these sticky-backed discs!

All this for $9.99. Visit Wet Paint's Website and get one today!

TTYL!
