Proof Positive: Centaur Linocut

This year I'm doing a linocut of a centaur hunting on the african savannah in honor of my fraternity, Iota Phi Theta Incorporated. In my last post I transferred the drawing to the linoleum and started the cutting. The initial cutting of the centaur linocut is all finished. I inked it up and printed off a proof. The proof is a preview of how the printed image will look. It is printed on cheap newsprint paper while the final run will be printed on an archival quality paper. It looks like to the original sketch and is very close to what I wanted to do. I can already see a few adjustments that need to be made before I get to the final image, a few more cuts to bring it all together.  It will be a nice piece to have in your house to represent our great fraternity.

There are 20 prints still available out of this 25 print edition. Prints are hand pulled and can be pre-ordered for $50 each. Pre-orders can still be made for the next 2 weeks by emailing me at jbarberstudio@gmail.com. The remaining prints will be available on etsy.com for $55 afterwards. Order yours today.
