Fred the Bug. No matter where I go on my printmaking journey I always revisit Fred the Bug. I love this print, and I love your engraving, especially watching it come to life. I just thought you should know that, and hopefully feel joy. Thank you again Spofford Press
I own an estate sale company, and was recently given about 100 beautiful prints to sell from an engraving artist (is that the right term?) who passed away 25 years ago. I knew nothing about the engraving process. Your video was a wonderful help in understanding the steps and the amount of effort that goes into creating the design and why each individual print has slight differences. Thank you so much.
It came out so nice! Thanks for the video. I'm taking history this semester and they didn't really explain any of the engraving ideas, so it was very handy to see engraving in action!
Amazing art and craftsmanship... very cool! Thanks for making these videos, I'm learning a ton from them. Can you provide info on where to get a Spitsticker tool?
Hi Eric, Can you tell me more about the chase you had made for your Conrad? I have the same press and am SO interested in getting a chase made like yours. Thanks!
Ash Flinn thank you! Printing the edition of 90 was a 13 hour day! For real! I tend to take out anything that isn’t 99% perfect as I print, so 13 hours produced an edition of 90 and about 35 duds. 😊
Yes! Tried it a few times and it seemed to work well. Not sure if a lot of acetone could potentially "melt" the resin surface on the block so I did it quick and then cleaned up!

Song? In the beginning of ur video
How do you decide which direction to carve your lines?
Just depending what gives the design a nice flow. Lot of trial and error Over the years!
Fred looks great! Always a joy to see your engraving and printing process. How long does it take you to print an edition of 90?
Ash Flinn thank you! Printing the edition of 90 was a 13 hour day! For real! I tend to take out anything that isn’t 99% perfect as I print, so 13 hours produced an edition of 90 and about 35 duds. 😊
Will this Acetone transfer technique work on lino blocks?
Yes! Tried it a few times and it seemed to work well. Not sure if a lot of acetone could potentially "melt" the resin surface on the block so I did it quick and then cleaned up!
now that resingrave appears to be unavailable, have you run across a substitute?
This is a very good question
And here is the video talking of a rubber blanket.
i learned a lot thanks
