Each year, during the block printing lesson, I make a new image for my demonstrations so I don’t up pulling the same prints. This time, I was less prepared with my imagery, so I did a quick sketch of my kiddos while they worked (well, at least one of them. The other was daydreaming so I made him stay super still while I drew) Although there a few more chunks missing from it than I would like, I like how it turned out overall.

I’ve been slowly working on this linoleum block as a demo piece for my students and hopefully to include in the zine. After printing this proof, I see there’s still a good amount to carving to do. Back to work I go.
