~5cm wide linocut stamp. I don’t know which way I’d rather die. Whichever makes me more legendary.

    Okay I read the title and was wondering what the fuck. Then I clicked the image and understood but also still what the fuck.

      Quite a few. A lot of my stuff is packed in boxes in another city right now, though. I just ordered new supplies to get back into it. This one is about 5cmx4cm.

        Interesting. How long did it take, tho??? I gotta know how long you spent carving pix of dix.

        Though – in your defense 5cm x 4cm isn’t awful.

        I did a linocut of a Picasso painting. I was sooooooo clever, cuz I made a xerox of the painting (Girl Before a Mirror), silk screened that on to a rubber lino block, and then carved the rubber. It took SO long, and I think it’s only like 5" x 7".

          You can transfer a toner photocopy directly into the lino using mineral turpentine (white spirit). (Or was it paint thinner? Crap, I don’t remember). you place the toner side facing the lino and with some soaked rag pass over the paper. Voilà!

            I half want to say thanks and half want to urge you to not even tell me about new rabbit holes to go into,.

          I used a lot of them to make my own stickers, which is why they’re small.

          Maybe took half an hour? I sketched it right onto the block in sharpie and carved from there. I don’t do a lot of planning.

          That sounds awesome, though.

            Wow – that’s fast!

            I don’t know how to do fast linocuts. I’ve tried, but I just don’t think well in that format. I’m a pen and paper type of thinker. I like more elaborate processes for producing final products, but I just draw a blank when confronted with doing it all at once.

              I have mental problems, so if I’m in a mood — I make the most of it. I envy careful planners with their refined work and less dicking around.

                That’s good you stay busy. I used to say “plenty of time to sleep when you’re dead,” but that’s incorrect. Pretty much every religion, etc is about your soul. Your body is very much not sleeping, and I sincerely hope souls don’t need sleep – that’s ridiculous.

                Bottom line: if you wanna get things done, there’s no time like the present!

    Hmm.

    So do the dicks just keep extending forever or is it just a torrential downpour of individual and perpetually spawning dicks?

    Or is it just a hidden portal to the layer of hell that is solely people getting their dicks cut off? Just a smattering of dicks and blood, almost like a fire hose of boba tea + tapioca balls — only it’s dicks and blood. Nah, surely they just extend forever — like dick versions of Wukong’s staff.

    Why would you make me think about this?
