I decided to try making use of the print room at college and use lino printing to continue some of my typographic work, though this is the first attempt and it only clicked that I had carved the lino block back to front when I first inked up, but decided to carry on anyway just to try it out. I have since re-cut the block and re-printed, but as the inks are oil based it will be another day or so before they are completely dry. My hands feel pretty battered from all the carving and slips of the tool... I also got a new fish eye extension lens which has re-newed my photo taking habits.
