AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).
Nudity: Nudity is and has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude subject matter.
Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.

thanks :)
That's really cool. Love it
thanks a lot :)
Really kool! Did you sketch it out beforehand or what was your process
thanks ! I do the research using drawings in a notebook, but they are more sketches of elements, of symbols. I create the composition in vector on Adobe Illustrator then using a transfert medium from liquitex , I transfer my printed composition onto my linoleum plate. I then engrave my plate manually. approximately 90 percent of the plaque is hollowed out.
Can you explain all the various representations? Thereβs a few I recognize, a few I can guess at and still more that I donβt even know where to start.
it is a mixture of abstract elements with occult/sci-fi connotations and scientific diagrams or more figurative or symbolic elements. there are elements relating to cosmology, astronomy, topography/geology. the element carbon, its simplified atomic model. a molecule of βchnopsβ the building blocks of life, a representation of bacterial life and various abstract elements. everything arranged in such a way as to have a homogeneous and graphically coherent egnimatic whole.
I really like this! The colors of the ink, paper, frame, and even the wall look great together!

thank a lot :) the frame and the wall come from a mock up I haven't actually framed it yet :)
I'm high as fuck and my guy, you're guy as fuck. This is rad
hahaha, thanks mate ! :D
Awesome! I've always wanted to do linocuts. Is this a metallic ink? It looks great! :)
thank you ! yep, these are the metallic inks from canfield color. they are beautiful ! :)
That is fantastic detail; at first glance I thought you'd laser cut it. Incredibly precise. It must have been very meditative to do the carving by hand.
Question: do you have a press, or is this hand-rubbed as well? Either way, great work.
haha, meditative is the term yes, it's very long, more than thirty hours of engraving :) thank you! all my prints are printed by hand. using a sterile sterile and a tablespoon :)
