#introduction
Hello fedizens!l recently took up linocut printing and thought this may be a good place to share my creations and learning journey.
I've generally been more of a dabbler/tinkerer in various arts, crafts and DIYs over the years but the carving/printing process has really captured my heart and attention. (Whole zines next?)
As for subjects — I really like plants, animals, fungi, clouds, humor, coziness and levity. But I live in the core of a colonial empire bent on destroying this planet for profit, so a lot of my art is related to that.
I'd love to follow other creative folks here, especially if any of these describes your projects: political, practical, amateur, vegan, upcycled, cute.Alt-text always, AI art never.

Mitch is all, "when you've been out here for so long, it changes you". It has been 42 days, Mitch. Not even two months.

@nina_kali_nina "What It Is" is focused on exploring memory, and the latter half is entirely exercises. This is focused on writing not drawing, but it is a method that dill draw out Images (capital I), and I think the creative exercises in it are broadly applicable. This is a book about exploring the depths of your mind and creativity.

@nina_kali_nina "Picture This" is also not very instructive. I think it's notable for condensing a lot of her philosophy that is explored upon in more detail in other works. I found it helpful for clawing my way out of burnout in the past.

@nina_kali_nina "Picture This" is a memoir on creativity. It explores various motivations she's had for making art over the years, why she rejected the more formal stuff she learned in school, in favor of a more loose and radical comic style, discusses burnout, and chases after this illusive thing she calls an Image which is the animating spirit of life that can be found in all art. These are all very visually dense texts, and this one probably the most so.

@nina_kali_nina ok, the books by Lynda Barry that I have on my book shelf are all wonderful, so I'll give you some brief summaries and you can decide for yourself if any of them sound interesting:

And, Lucas is out. He made it longer than I expected.
