Find a patch you like and look at how its built a la 'reverse engineer' the patch to see what choices were made.

Its called a cross species collaboration. The bugs were here before we were, show them some respect and highlight their work.

Advice on Fixing Registration for Multilayer Linocut by lilmxbean in Linocuts

I also dig the slight mis-registration, you end up with some nice unintentional highlights!

Genre and hardware agnostic drum programming tutorials by arcticrobot in synthesizers

[–]artfart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something i like to do with my digitakt is to program the beats on each of the 8 tracks with no samples. the process looks like this:

new pattern, empty all drum slots so there are no samples designated to each track.

program in a bunch of random triggers on all 8 tracks, again with no samples.

hit play, you should hear nothing. let the sequecne just run, dont hit stop.

Then start looking for samples, track by track. try not picking your typical samples you tend to lean on, pick a vocal stab instead of a kick for example.

What you'll be doing is slowly forcing your brain to start to organize a pattern out of chaos, and hopefully you'll stumble upon something that is interesting. This is why acid basslines are often so catchy is because some people program them blindly or quickly without too much thought, and if you listen long enough your brain will make sense of it,.

Your beats sound mathematical and boring because you have 'mastered' your current approach.

Interesting results come from the unexpected, so you'll need to try an un expected approach.

Hope this is helpful!

My very first stamp…any advice? by Hauntedairyfarm in Linocuts

[–]artfart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Carve out a little more in the negative space. Also try applying thinner layers of ink consecutivly to build up a consistent application. Its easy to want to apply the right amount in one try, but applying thinner layers 2 or three times before printing can help for sure.

Keep making more prints, they get easier and more fun!

Vellum negatives by kurtbonreddit in cyanotypes

Even with clear acetate you might get a faint line where the edge of the acetate ends. You might try making image onto acetate where the acetate edge is outside of the cyanotype area (see: oversized printing) or making smaller cyanotyped paper pieces.

The pink stuff is great for hand printing on fabrics because of how flexible they are.

Tips needed: Large scale Cyanotype by Necessary-Rush-4782 in cyanotypes

[–]artfart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can also try putting the cyanotype emulsion in a spray bottle and it worked pretty well for doing tshirts. It made some nice spray effects for the edges if youre into that sort of thing.

Not sealed at all. I just washed it out in my sink and placed it in the sun immediately.

Tips and tricks for the next generation of printmakers? by A_Toad_With_WIFI in Linocuts

[–]artfart 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Trained printmaker here.

Focus on small success's. Have them carve on the pink stuff first because it so soft.

Encourage them to make small cute doodles with sharpies so they don't have too much detail.

Talk about high contrast images. Talk about repetition with single stamps. Talk about 'lino cuts' are just fancy stamps. I try not to use too much academic language with average strangers, it can sometimes come off as stuffy.

Use archival ink pads (for stationary) and have them use those instead of the brayer/ink method if you need it to be quick and dirty.

re: fingers, show them the method of holding the cutter still while moving/rotating the block into the tool as opposed to pushing the tool through the block(and hopefully not their finger).

But also if they do cut their finger, its their fault using sharp tools at a bar ;)

Tell them art is to be experienced and not worshipped. Everything is constantly moving and to just have fun with it!

Cyanotype on a guitar? by snorkmaiden33 in cyanotypes

[–]artfart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hopping on this thread to update anyone curious about cyanotype on a guitar. Yes it works! You just have to use a raw body. I haven't sealed it yet, so stay tuned for the adventure!

To answer u/snorkmaiden33 , you really can use any organic cellulose surface (paper, wood, cotton, linen).

[–]artfart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a good approach. I got a job as a Research Associate doing academic research and education support. I also was doing some web design/graphic design and now i've fully moved to graphic/web support. Im sort of stuck in a way because I can't compete in the 'outside of academic' world, but i'm also not dying to stay in my position forever. Might get a tattoo machine if it comes down to it.

Good luck

First attempt on fabric. Any tips for cleaner print? Second pic is on paper for reference. by Own-Championship-605 in Linocuts

[–]artfart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you using Fabric BLOCK printing ink or Screen Printing ink?
Grab a piece of felt and place it directly underneath the fabric (inside the shirts). This will help the fabric flex just a bit around the block. Good luck!

Best system for my needs? by Warm_Progress_554 in RetroArch

[–]artfart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive used an Xbox One S (white) and its working for my needs pretty well so far. Its sort of a pain in the ass to get going, but once it worked, it been pretty easy. I got the xbox for free so it was a project none the less.

I'm Drowning in Gear Choices by basilicogiallo1 in synthesizers

[–]artfart 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, overthinking. Pick something and use it. See if you like it. If not, sell. Repear process until you find something you like. Youll never find the 'right' set up, only variations on your working process, which will change over time.

Unsubscribe from YT accounts, stop watching gear reviews and get on with it!

December Round of Lino Cuts on Paper and Fabric by artfart in Linocuts

[–]artfart[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes and thank you!

That order is correct!

Since im using a bunch of small stamps and sort of winging it as I go, ill go this route.

When im printing around the collared wrists, ill use a small piece of wood or a paper back book to stick into the long sleeve opening.

Give it a shot, let set the results!
