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

    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!
