Linocuts: Coffee and Tea

 

These are some of my first linoleum block prints, otherwise known as linocuts.  They are from a coffee and tea series that I did several years ago.  I've always had a fascination with coffee (I usually prefer it to tea)...not just drinking it, but the whole art of brewing and enjoying it. 

  

I cranked out tons of these things in both black and brown.  I really love linocuts because you have to distill an object down to it's essential elements.  Then you have to be very careful when carving not to screw up the whole thing! 

 

I've done lots of these things, so I'll be sure to put more of them up later.
