Linocut Rescue Doodle

 

A few months ago, I started carving a small block (100 x 130 mm) as a sort of commemorative 2025 thing.

When i had got as far as outlining the numerals, I realised that I'd forgotten to reverse them on the block, so  they'd print back to front.

I said some Bad Words, and tossed the block aside.

A couple of days ago, I found that block again and thought that since it was already mounted and prepared I might as well use it to some purpose, so I started doodling away at it with various shapes and textures, just for a spot of carving practice really.

Today I printed it.

The paper is nothing special, just sheets ripped off an A5 cartridge paper sketch block. The ink is Flint water-based black.
