 Lino-carving supplies including sheet of linoleum, clamps, carbon paper, carving tools, glass paten to roll ink on, roller, burnisher and baren for hand printing.  This happy illustrator has never injured herself because she clamps down the lino and carves away. This makes for safer, faster carving.  When the carving is finished the plate is inked. I usually use black ink and colorize in Photoshop.  The inked lino is placed on my tabletop press and a blank sheet of paper is placed on top. If the lino is too big I will hand print using a baren, burnisher and lots of muscle.  The lino is rolled through the press and paper carefully lifted off.  Et voila! The print is ready to be scanned and coloured in Photoshop.

 This health clinic is driving around Phoenix right now. I hope to get down there to see it one of these days - just love the desert! I know size isn't everything but this is my largest assignment to date!
Here's the book trailer for a picture book I illustrated recently for Skinner House Books. It's a beautiful creation story written by Laura Alary.

AuthorI am an illustrator with many years of experience in publishing, editorial, advertising and corporate. My illustration technique is linocut, printed and scanned with color applied in Photoshop. I love mixing old school and digital technologies and now am learning to paint in oils and with a wacom tablet. I'll post my learning curve here. Variety, the spice of life! Categories
