The Blue Plague Print School Linocut Textbook

BLUE PLAGUE PRINT SCHOOL LINOCUT TEXTBOOK, with hand- printed linocut dust jacket, (limited edition/50) Print on demand book, linocut on Fabriano Limoncello paper, 17 pages, 15 x 21 cm

The Blue Plague Print School Linocut Textbook is a graphic linocut manual and an insurrection grimoire. Inspired by 15th century block books, it is an Inky Incunable. A skeletal cast [stripped to the bone by Tory austerity] guides readers with instruction and by example, from thought to burnish. Raise your boney hands and ink up.
