welcome to Steemit @doctorcrypto, I hope what you see here will benefit you and your family. I enjoyed your block prints. At first I saw photoshop, and thought those look nice, but then when I looked and read closer I thought "those look like block prints" and sure enough they are. How long have you been doing those. I wonder if you can recommend a set of equipment for a starter. I enjoyed doing block prints in the 8th grade and about 3 months ago (i'm 58 now) I thought hey that would be fun to do again. I just happened to check at a Hobby Lobby in our area and they didn't have much to chose from, so I decided to do some more research. What can you tell me about products?

If you would like to start printing again, get one of these. http://www.dickblick.com/products/speedball-linoleum-cutters/
Then get a piece of linoleum. You don't need the ones with wood on the back. They are just trying to get more money outta ya. Put your image on the linoleum (reversed) and carve it out.
Get one of these to roll the ink on your block http://www.dickblick.com/products/holbein-super-soft-brayer/
and press the paper and viola!
Thanks for the info, I'll check out the Dick Blick store in the city. Wow, the Brayer is not cheap, and the linoleum you would just get at a Home Depot? I'll post my masterpiece, if I end up getting supplies. Thanks for taking the time for getting the links. I think I'll do some research on printing.
The linoleum is still from the art store. Much different from home depot. Sometimes they add a wood block on the back for beginners.
Maybe I should start a block print blog eh?
