illustration 1: more artists

so i was scrolling through instagram when i picked these up. I have accumulated these in the past week or so and i have loved looking through all of their work and seeing how they use their printing processes. It's so funny how having a project at uni can make you so much more interested in things you wouldn't have really noticed before. 

most of these artists are lino printers as these seem to be popular videos on instagram. however, it's not like that's a bad thing.

i found this artist and was so interested in their lino cutting videos. it's so satisfying to see them glide through and cut so easily. they make it look so easy! what i really like about their work is how delicate it is and how they make things that wouldnt seem like they could be linoprinted possible. look at the tiny details of those flowers!!! it's so amazing. i hope one day i can become as skilled as they are.

 Lili Arnold is another illustrator that i found using the printing process. Her work is so colourful and inviting. She works with a lot of florals. This seems to be a bit of a theme within the linoprinting community. But its not a downside as her works are super lovely to look at.

i found this image and was so amazed at the tiny details and how perfect these look. they don't even look like lino cuts!!! how did they get their lines so perfect? its wizardry. i swear there is a hack or something and they're all just tricking us into thinking we're really terrible. i must practice more to become this good!!

another amazing linocutting artist. I was really interested in this one because they used many little lino cuts into one piece too. Like the colours of the flowers. I never even thought of putting two together so i think this is really interesting. I would've loved to give it a go if i had different coloured inks which I sadly do not but in the future if my collection ever grows this will be the first thing that I try and conquer!
