This is my first linocut.  I did a couple of more since but will post those later. I am still in super practicing mode but what I like about this whole thing so far:

  • It´s not too hard to do
  • A printmaking techique I can easily do at home
  • Handwork
  • I have original prints and everyone is a little different from the one before.
  • Easy clean up with waterbased colors
  • I enjoy the cutting (even if it takes hours).
  • Experimental value
  • To work with one or just a minimum of colors

When I  painted my iPhone case with acrylics I wasn´t sure how long the paint would actually last since it´s an object that is in daily use.  So far everything seems good.  The phone already fell down and no scratch,

So I tried getting a little 3D effect and drew on different layers. I searched very long on the web for a fitting square frame in that size and the needed depth. Found it at IKEA in the end.
