One thing that's fun with school is that the resources for trying out new media is far better than they are at home. This one came out good for a linoleum print and was really fun to create! Devastating for my fingers though...(blisters!!)

I see what you mean... (Almost) the same medium and (almost) the same subject. Maybe it is because the prints come out rather dark, that we ended up with these subjects? Anyway, I like this horse and the picture has a certain movement in it. It is like they are climbing up a hill for a spot where there once were a great fight.

This might be my favorite image in your gallery, Sara! The high contrast night scene is so dramatic and astounding. (How exactly does linoleum printing work? I know that was Aubrey Beardsley's method of choice for mag. illustrations.) The skeletons are great subjects for this medium because of all of the spaces in their bodies for light to come through. I would love to see more stuff like this in your gallery.

THAT is a linoleum print?! I am sincerely amazed by your talent with what I consider to be one of the most finicky of mediums. My prints always turn out rather cruddy. *gives a cookie* Absolutely fantastic!

Really good! I think the sword tip and the hoof like kinda odd sticking out of the white circle like that, but otherwise the general effect is very spooky and awesome!

Very well done. In spite of the fact that I am completely enamored of/biased in favor of your subject matter. This is a really nice piece of work. Say maybe we could work an art trade for a print of this one or something(?)2

Best wishes for much happiness and success, C

I really like this print! I have never tried linoleum print but I know someone who has and they said it was hard and painful so props!
