I made a new linocut! It is inspired by an illustration I made for Climate Illustrated some years ago – some of you might remember it. The illustration shows different »islands of peace«, which are places or things that mean peace to people. This linocut shows the island of nature. Also included in the original illustration are the island of home and the island of family. My plan was actually to carve all three islands in lino to have a small series in the end, but I am not sure yet when I will find the time to do so.

Of this linocut I printed a small edition of 4 prints. Write me a message, if you want one of them. Unfortunately I forgot the name of the paper, but it is a yellowish Japan paper with a cloudy texture. It looks quite nice actually.

Hi there.

@Kulturagenten_hamburg initiated a workshop week @goetheschuleharburg this week and i've been there for two days, representing @griffelkunst and the not to be killed genre of printmaking (woodcut of course 🤠).

The so called IVK class (Internationale Vorbereitungsklasse) consisted of around thirteen kids, that are not born in Germany. They're here for less than twelve months and are mostly from areas of conflict, such as Syria, Ukraine, Afghanistan and so on.

Some of the kids are able to speak and understand up to five languages which i can't keep up with cause i only speak two. But as you can guess we've had no language in common ;).

However, the nice thing is that printmaking is pretty universal and even if we've had to use our hands and feet (okay okay also some translation apps) to communicate, every kid was able to cut and print almost two prints.

Pretty impressive!

I've managed to snap some pics in between, but there are no action shots of the kids cutting cause it's been pretty turbulent ;).

Interesting side fact:
The "Robust" press pretty much sucked, but it was saved from being thrown away and i guess therefore it was ooookay.
