Linocut or lino print is a relief printing process where a design is cut into a linoleum sheet using various sizes and shapes of knives or gouges and then inked with a brayer (roller). Paper is impressed on the inked linoleum by hand with a barren or with a mechanical press, thereby transferring the design onto the paper.
This limited edition linocut print features a White-breasted Nuthatch on a tree trunk in its typical upside down pose. The piece was inspired by White-breasted Nuthatches that are regular year-round visitors to my Northeast Kansas backyard.
The image was carved in my studio and printed using Cranfield Relief Ink on Canson XL neutral pH paper.
Each print includes the edition number (1/20, 2/20, 3/20, etc.), the title (A Little Nutty—White-breasted Nuthatch), and my signature with date. A total of 20 prints exist. Please note that each print was hand inked and pulled by me in my studio, so slight variations occur within each edition.
