I'm not a terribly interesting person, but I sure do like to talk!

This is my frst portrait block print. I hand drew it onto a piece of linoleum and carved it. Then you ink it up (like a stamp) and use it exactly like a stamp :) Its Joey Mcintyre in case you are wondering. I liked the picture. 

The original picture I found on the net. I made it black and white and then polerized it to a dark contrast and I just really loved the way it looked so I decided to make a print.

The left is the lino block and the right is a practice pull to see how it was printing. I narrowed the lines around his eyes and made the actual print darker. I still havent perfected it yet, so when I do I will show a print :)
