Monkey See, Monkey Two


I sat in on the first couple classes of Printmaking, although I'm probably going to end up dropping this class. The first day we did a block print. Interestingly we carved in linoleum instead of wood, because it is *supposed* to be easier to carve, and more consistent. Everyone was complaining about sore wrists and hands, and at least 2 people stabbed themselves with the carving tool, ouch! :) It was fun though, and this Japanese-style monkey print turned out pretty well. The inking is trickier than I expected, and you can see small differences between these two prints.
