Grabado: Monocopia y chine collé

A lino print that I made early art therapy. This was my second lino cut, after my practice cut, and the third I've done in my life. There are mistakes but I'm.still super happy with the outcome.

That was a wild night with loud techno sound at a workspace. I heard this track and painted and printed this linocut with the music.

Just a Linocut from a moon and cloud scene.

An abstract interpretation of fire. Linocut.

when life as we know it comes to a end we find comfort and safety in out fellow humans

An etching from my university fine art days.
