Linoleum Cut Best Kept Secrets #3
In linoleum cut there is no going back. Each line must be cut with confidence and presence of mind. To do that, you must focus on the act of cutting itself. Feel the resistance of the linoleum to your blade. Feel your drawing coming to life.
Often, I will cut entire pieces of lino and realize that my mind had wandered, yielding unsatisfactory results. In these cases I always do the cut over, and feel stronger connection the second time through.
There is joy in printmaking, there is joy in making prints. The art happens as you cut. The print that comes later is but a shadow of the art-making experience.

All Things Bee

I'm sure we'll all agree! Bees are fascinating creatures. There have been a lot of articles about colony collapse disorder, or the sudden disappearance of honey bees. Recently I saw a lecture by LA's Backwards Bee Keeper, at Farmlab. Did you know there is a difference between commerical bees and wild bees? Commericial bees are kept to pollinate giant orchards, are larger and more sluggish then wild bees, and are given antibiotics and corn syrup! According to Kirk Anderson, with the absence of chemicals, wild bees are surviving just fine. We love and depend on the bees of the world! Love them and leave them alone!

Linoleum Cut Best Kept Secrets #2

Using a lot of linoleum? You can save a lot of money by purchasing linoleum at a flooring store in large quantities. I buy 6 feet at a time. Make sure to ask for a non-coated, non-decorated variety. Sometimes the owner of the store can point you to the right variety. If not, take one of your cutters with you and test the sponginess or hardness of the linoleum on a scrap piece.
For you Los Angelinos, check out Linoleum City in Hollywood.

Bison Skull Pile
"Bison Skull Pile" by Sonia RomeroThis piece is inspired by the famous photograph from the 1870's of the great American bison slaughter. Hundreds of thousands of bison were killed for their hides, and to remove an important food source from the Native Americans. It speaks to our nation's history of mass consumption and waste.

Linoleum Cut Best Kept Secrets #1

Linocut Secret #1
Harness the power of sunshine! Linoleum is a very hard material to carve, but can be softened with heat. When I'm carving very large pieces, the most convenient heat source is the sun. Park your set up in the sunshine, and enjoy the free, even, source of energy, and save yourself some backache!
