I don't remember the name of this assignment, but it is an unrelated image that makes up another word. Catacomb, get it?
This was a carved vinyl block print. The designs were so tedious to carve, but I really like the way it came out.

I'll definitely show you! You can even see the blocks and metal plates I have, and the crappy crappy tools I had to use.
Basically you draw a mirror image of what you want on a piece of vinyl or wood, carve out what you want to be white, mix up some special printing ink (it's very thick and goopy and annoying), soak some good paper, then put the ink-rolled block down on it and roll it through a big press. Then you have to hope and pray it came out alright, haha. That was a really long sentence, but whatever.
