Weekly Block Print Exchange (Weeks 1 and 2)

My friend and collaborator, Elizabeth Lorayne (Piratess Tilly, Historical Heroines Coloring Book) asked me a few weeks ago about creating a little block print challenge for just the two of us.

I love working with Elizabeth, and a no-pressure art agreement is hard to turn down. (:

Here are linocuts for weeks one and two…

First linocut was this Japanese-inspired flower in water.

Week 1: Linocut inspired by research of Japanese woodcuts

Week 2: My agent, Liz Wain, texted me a couple of cool images that morning, which had me thinking of vases. The red acrylic swirls were a last-minute idea for color pop!
