Q:

Answer
I had no idea what I was doing. I've heard many colleagues and friends ask me.."you never did this in high school?" I guess I never made it to that class. So my struggles with this project was the vigorous "chipping away" of the linoleum block, heating it to soften up the surface. Nearly cutting away at my flesh. Once I started to understand the concept of the "stamp" affect, it all came clear to me. My inspiration to finish was a picture of niece. I younger version of Me when I was younger. I thought it would be a great driving point to finish this ever so tedious method. But like all the other printmaking methods, it was alot of fun. Patience is truly a virtue. There continues to be a hint of graphic design in my work. Yet the more hands on method of linoleum print makes it much more than just a computer drawing.
