I love this sort of thing when it's well done, and this is. It would make a fine book-plate.

Thanks Robert, am looking forward to running off a full run soon and experimenting with papers.

I love this! I was recently given a book 'Cutting Away - the Linocuts of Robert Gillmor,' his bird pictures are fantastic. I have never tried done any linocuts but this book has really inspired me to give it a go.

Hi Christine, I agree, Gillmour's prints are legendary, I especially like his more limited palette prints. Good luck if you give it a go. There are good instruction books out there, websites too ;)

After immersing myself up to my waist in books on the works of some of our great British linocut artists of the past such as Geoffrey Wales, Edward Bawden, Ravilious and their contemporaries, I wanted to follow in their footsteps. Employing a harmonious 50/50 'black' and white coverage of colour, the print is rich in textures and mark-making. I ran off a proof and used the handy technique of painting with a correction pen those areas which still needed some work, to test it before a final carving.
