LINOCUT ART - Block Prints!

Prints - Compiled

PRINTS AVAILABLE: https://linktr.ee/krbuck_art 

I dabbled in carving / block printing over the years.  First to make a logo to print onto T-shirts for my now defunct podcast idea, circa 2015.  A few years later... I made a simple climber silhouette... a rock stack (cairn) as a gift for the friend who constructed it... and this year (2026) I got back into it - carving primarily based in photos I've taken.  Mostly 4x6 inch blocks, which fit nicely with 5x7 paper / frames.  

Mountains / Desert Rock:

Lone Peak, UT

North Six-Shooter Tower, Indian Creek, UT

Skiing down the NE Face, Pfeifferhorn, UT
South Ridge, Mt Superior, UT


Delicate Arch, Arches NP, UT

...and I started experimenting with multiple colors / layers: 


Animals & Insects are wonderful too... in order of oldest to newest. :)

Sharp Tailed Grouse

Ten Lined June Beetle
Rocky Mtn. Bighorn Sheep

Jackdaw


Backyard Mantis

I also carved some flowers...

Cactus Flower

Okra Flower

And lastly... my older cuts - some with watercolor.  

Rainbow Climber (City of Rocks, ID)


GreenClimber (City of Rocks, ID)

Cairn

Acts of Creation (Logo)

And in case you were wondering and made it this far - the blocks look like this.  Linoleum / rubber - a bit easier to carve than wood - which I may venture into one day.  






Here I tried 3 varying / overlapping layers for color
