This is so freaking cool!! Such a random question but is there a name for this style of layout? Where things are blocked out/ bordered? It seems reminiscent of some older (midievalish?) art but I cannot remember the name of it
Amazing process and skills. Such is why I'm on the internet. Thanx for sharing. ...PS: I love that light-line that's over the left graphic border from 1:29:45
The most important lesson I took away from your video is to not let the mistakes ruin your work. 10:08 Half the reason I enjoy linocut are the "flaws" that make it feel handmade.
Thank you so much for this video! Ive tried this method twice now, and both times i had a ton of issues with the print turning out so bad (parts missing, smudging) that i cant use it for a transfer. I used 3 different laser printers and had the same results with all. I also tried different brands of sticker backing paper, again same results. What am I doing wrong?!
There are ways with inkjet, but slightly different, as far as I know. #1. Print on these label sheets, or other (transparent) non absorbant foil # 2. Go to lino, apply #3. Print your transfer like handprint linocut (folding bone, credit card ...etc) #4. Let it dry (1 hour min). I transfer like this also rubber carving block and wood. Main difference to Emil's process: You have to transfer as long as inkket-ink is moist - rather quickly. For bigger motives you'd have to go segment by segment, like oldschool grid method. For doing so, transparent foil has advantage here, as you can see the connection points. Hope that helps.
Help!! I’m using a sheet of carbon paper laid on top of my Lino. Then I put my drawing, on tracing paper, on top of them both. Nothing transfers. I tried a gentle sanding if the blocks surface but it didn’t help at all. Ugh. I’m stuck!
Ok. Great. I did not knew this way of doing things I was using this paper with acetone. I have a question: how do you clean the medium from the linoleum after you do the cuts? The surface must be clean before using inks? Right? Thank you!
Thank you so much for your generosity in sharing the 'label backing' method! Like @wildboar173 I have found that politely asking artists to share a reliable transfer method of any kind mostly gets no response. I can understand it in a way, if it's something that they have spent years working out, but the main reason given is that you might copy their work. Your work is fantastic, and you are obviously confident enough in your art that you have no fear of anybody copying - just let them try! Thank you again, your generosity is much appreciated.
Amazing. You get very even coverage from hand rubbing. Are the parts that don’t print completely black acceptable to you or do you just accept that as part of the process?
i do discard some prints if they are too uneven, but most of the time they turn out acceptable, even with a few areas where the ink didnt cover completely
@@emilunderbjerg Of course, and many artists embrace that look. In fact I was in a café at the weekend where lino prints were for sale and they all had the uneven look. They looked great. Really enjoying your videos.
Hello Emil. Is everything okay with you? We miss your cinematic and poetic linocut productions. Have you finished your print "This is all there is"? Also, I searched for the other videos in the "This is all there is" series and couldn't find them. I wanted to see how you stored the ink. I've seen it before, but I don't remember exactly how you stored it. I think you used a zip-lock bag. Can you refresh my memory?
hello! i am doing great, sorry for not uploading anything these last months! i have been taking a break from all of "this" and is currently in norway learning how to build tin houses and many other crafts! i will come back to denmark in a couple of months and will return to posting videos.
ive taken the first two episodes down because i wasnt happy with the voice over. unfortunately i dont have the files to redo the video with me, but when i am back home ill reupload them as soon as possible.
i have tried a few different ways of storing leftover ink, including a ziplock bag, however i found it to be a bit wasteful and resorted to just make a small pocket of clear packing tape that i could fill with the ink
Virkelig fantastisk 🤩 Er selv liige begyndt at lege lidt med linoleumstryk og det er virkelig fedt at arbejde med - selvom selve print delen driller mig en del 😅 Du er jo bare sindssygt dygtig 🙌🏼😱 Er totalt blown away! Nu er det jo noget tid siden, men er totalt nysgerrig på hvor mange timer du brugte på at skære det ud 🙈
Thank you so much, you gave such helpful information. I will be buying my supplies this week to start lino printing and i am so excited. I have wanted to do this for years. I love your videos and you do the MOST amazing work ❤
Hi, I tried this with an HP laser printer and silicone release paper, and the printer doesn't cope with the paper. It gets jammed. I cannot extract the remnants, so the printer is ruined. It would be nice to know if there are specific grades of paper, and models of printer that this works best with please?
hi, sorry to hear that the printer is ruined. what thickness is the silicone release paper you used? the type i use is a little thinner compared to regular copy paper
I am following your method and it works amazingly. But I am having a problem. I am not sure why, but when I print my designs on the label release paper, some parts (in the center specifically) look smeared. My printer is laser and I am trying to troubleshoot, do you have any specific setup for your printer? Do you use the label release paper in the printer right after you remove the sticker??? I love your work btw! Is amazing.
that sounds odd, i have never encountered something like that. i dont set my printer up in any specific way, and i often store the label release paper for months before i use it. i am afraid i cant hep you
Thanks Emil! The acrylic medium/label release method is brilliant. I’ve just tried it and it’s worked really well first time. Really appreciate you sharing your tips. As others were a have said, many printmakers keep these techniques to themselves. I’m very grateful for you sharing yours!
