Ja, ist mein first attempt at relief printmaking. Ist das Pyramid Head.

This first shot was a venture into the world of traditional printmaking with a linoleum block. Most of the detail was done with a V-gouge, and the big space-clearing was done with a U-gouge, then smoothed over with a straight chisel.

You can see a lot of the unsure, experimental venturing; where I started and where I started getting comfortable with the medium.
