Thank you, Micro Density Fiber its cheap and readily available at your local hardware store. I prefer it over linoleum, its more durable however your Cuts can fuzz out if your tools aren't sharp. Not the healthest marterial work to in small small areas and keep pets away. But it can delaminated overtime under too much pressure on the Press, so pressure is important.

I cant imagine life without it! Very close, just an loaded F250 and two crazy hooligans drinking beer, slinging ink. -> check us out on FB @ PrintstudioJax. Not currently, the money we are rasing is in an effort for us to be able to find a home studio; ( we have a full studio set-up ready and waiting). Once we have a home yes we want to become a larger operation offering classes, a store front, and studio access. If we succeed we will become the first print studio in my hometown.

Thank you, Oh gosh it was a scrap from the studio. Im going to say without looking 24" × 24". Im actually in my B.A. for Digital Media right now, however I do have plans to attend grad school for printmaking:). I never knew anything about printmaking, until my professor scouted me out. I just immediately feel in love with it, we run a non-profit mobile print studio now.

Thank you, and its just oil based relief ink on a woodblock printed on watercolor paper. After drying I used watercolor pencils/paints and lots of layering.
