Today I am making a Linocut Print that pays a tribute to Immagination, Fantasy Literature in general, the Death Gate Cycle specifically and the current Zelda games BotW and TotK.
It is going to be a 2 color print so we are also going to think about print registration here a bit.
This is a full process video starting from idea, to research, lino preperation, image transfer, carving and blockprinting … so it may take a while this time!
You can buy one of the limited Prints here in my shop: eastofawesome....

LINOCUT TOOLS
=====================================
- PFEIL"Swiss Made" Knife Set: amzn.to/37x3UwN

- Fallkniven DC4 Sharpening stone: amzn.to/3utoF5n
