Materials I used
===========================
(or similar stuff I could find links to)
- Photo Transfer Podge: amzn.to/3Kx6uS9
(For transferring laserprints to the linoleum)
- Meditations Book (new Hays translation): amzn.to/3KrTr4i
(to get rid of glue bubbles)
- PFEIL"Swiss Made" Knife Set: amzn.to/37x3UwN
(I did buy each of my 3 knifes separately in a local store but single blades seem quite pricey on US Amazon so I would rather go for this set)
- Mikisyo Power Grip Carving Tools: amzn.to/3LTWylL
(Alternative cheaper set I would go for. Haven‘t tried it, but heard good things about it)
- Fallkniven DC4 Sharpening stone: amzn.to/3utoF5n
(My preferred overall sharpening stone)
- Stropping Compound: amzn.to/3uqNJtT
(best used with a self-made stropping block: just find a piece of leather and glue it on a woodboard. Done)
- Big Soft Rubber Brayer (6-Inch): amzn.to/3uwrYJ2
- Japanese printing baren: amzn.to/3rijgfG

had to order the whole set of the stoic series right after watching this. They look even better in real life. Thank you so much for the amazing artwork!
Thank you for this! The commentary, video, and visuals were really engaging. I'm starting to dabble into linocut and I'm so stoked to stumble on your channel. I appreciate the thoughtfulness of how you edited your video--the pacing, the angles, and of course, the artistry. Art on, my friend, art on. Cheers!
Hey Tasi, thank you for your lovely and engaging words. Very much appreciated!
this video is super relatable. awesome work and video. :) love your vintage press +++++
Hey Emils, thank you so much! I have been following your work for quite a while and you were a big inspiration when I started getting more into linocutting. So, thanks again and see you soon! ✌️
I like it very much. And find it very relatable😄 I only can't get over the proportions of one of her arms - the one stretching down.
Thanks for the nice words! yeah, I wasn't that sure with the pose to beginn with, that's why I took the reference picture. But you are right, it still looks a bit off. Maybe it's part of the lore ... like you know: holding all of time gets kinda heavy with time or something ... 😅
Man, I just found this video, LOOOOOVE you art, and you seems like an adorable human being haha.
I'm just starting linocut and I'm really fond of your style.
What a totally nice thing to say, thank you Pauline!
Thanks for sharing this amazing work
Thank you Dauria!
Fantastic, I need to work in a looser style! It has much more impact!
Great video and beautiful print, thank you!
Richtig stark! Mad respect...

Great job. Thanks for the video 👍
Thanks! ✌️
Such excellent work! Thanks!
Thanks Roy! ✌️
Very nice !
Thank you! ✌️
Really enjoying your videos. Gorgeous prints. Do you ever find that the mod podge flakes or peels when you are cutting the designs? And are you ever tempted to somehow remove the mod podge before printing? Total curious novice speaking here
Thank you! During cutting I haven‘t notice the modpodge peeling. But I have when cleaning with hot water after the printing. then I noticed I can peel of the whole podge layer. So now if I am impatient I make the first print run with the modpodge and remove it on the first cleaning afterwards, or - if I have the patience- I clean first. (But then the whole Lino Block is wet and you have to properly dry it for a few hours with paper towels and weight (a few big books) so it becomes straight again. Also tried sanding the block, but found the hot water approach much cleaner. Hope that helps and have fun with getting into the printing game!
Hi, lovely work. I'm interested in your old (laundry?) press there. It looks like a wooden roller? If so, how does it hold up to printing? Can it provide enough pressure for say an etching? Thanks!
Hey Carlos, thanks for your comment. As you already did find out I have a separate video on the press itself. I‘ll continue with answering your comment there ✌️
One more thing. Don’t take this wrong. But in all the videos I’ve watched (block / lino / etc) whenever I see sharp tools and bandaids I LOL
Haha, yes I totally get it. Fun fact: I had different wounds on my hand at the time I was working on this piece but not once did I cut myself with the linocut tools. Working all day with this sharp knifes but managed to cut myself with a breaking sewing needle and while cooking in the kitchen and stuff like that 😅
Seen few posts. Nice work. Getting into block press art. Do you offer service to draw pictures? I could Adobe myself but curious. For sale of course. Thanks in advance.
Thanks Joe! Yes I also do illustration work. Just drop me an email to mail(at)eastofawesome.com with the details and I‘ll send you a quote.
What software are you using?
the drawing app on the ipad that I use is Artstudio Pro.
Great video! What was the liquid that you used to get rid of the paper when transferring the photo onto the Linoleum? I know the "glue" is mod podge :D
oh and is the paper you got from the copy shop anything special or just normal printing paper?
The glue stuff I used is labeled "photo podge" but I think it might also work with regular mod podge. I'll try that next time. (or you tell me in case you try it first ✌️)
The copy paper I used for the first test print is just normal 80g copy/printing paper. The paper I used for the real prints is a special handmade paper I buy at the local art store.
Ah and to remove the paper you use just plain water.
