I love how he says what’s on his mind and DOESNT sugar coat anything, just tells you how it is done! Brilliant!

It’s wonderful to hear you talking about losing yourself in your creative process. It’s amazing when you get into that mind space

Thanks for this brilliant lesson from someone who knows what they are talking about. I had to search the internet long and hard but it was worth it. Thanks for making this video.

As someone who had the last name of Hogg when growing up, I totally appreciate the piggy humour oink, and the fantastic tution is very much appreciated. Thank you.

Hello sir. I suddenly understood why you are so impeccably shaved when I saw those "coupes-choux" (straight razors) still handy behind you! Thank you very much sir for your informative videos. Your knowledge is of great value. Vincent from France.

thank you so much . I grew up watching my dad do wood prints His prints are beautiful always tried to be like him but I Am a free and easy person Went to FIT in NYC for textile design and now that I'm retired have started doing lino prints Never had proper training . I really appreciate and enjoyed you video thank you !

I just discovered your videos. I'm really enjoying them. Thanks!

This video is brilliant! I absolutely love the final product!

THANK YOU !!! great and very professional !!!

Marvellous! Have really enjoyed learning this.

Quality, video is 5 years old and still worth watching.

THANK YOU! More of you would be wonderful.

Such a great lesson, best in the youtube on how to use the lino tools. Thank you!!!

Very helpful! Thank you.

this is a perfect job for me, i can definitely get lost in the process, does wonders for focusing the brain, my only social commitment is my cat lol

Thanks for the excellent instruction Mr Pig! You're a fantastic artist and brilliant teacher, but I wish the videographer used camera angles that better revealed your art and demonstrations. For instance, I never saw the initial print of the various marks and patterns from anything other than a severe angle, which obscured what you were explaining. The best shot of the video was when you briefly tilted the scrap lino towards the camera, which clearly revealed the marks you made. The lighting was quite good overall.

You’re the Gandalf of linocut!!

Mr pig u r right very addictive 👌 😀

hello, I absolutely adore your videos and your love for printmaking! I am starting with lino printing and there are two questions I was not able to figure out yet. I wanted to do some very detailed work so I have purchased a very small U carving tool and they told me it is the smallest option I can get. However, if I get a really small V tool wouldnt I be able to cut even smaller lines? The other question is - when I try to print bigger lino formats, it takes me a ridiculous amount of time to put the paint on the lino plate, as it is always too light and not layering up very well, can this be mainly a problem of a roller or are there any other tips to make it layer faster? Thanks for your answear and have a great day!

Sarah Belejová Hello Sarah. What gouges do you have? If you bought an 11/05 Pfeil gouge then its 'v' gouge equivalent will do much the same thing. If you want to work finer than that then I suggest you try engravjng instead. If the marks yiu make on lino are too fine they will be lost by bleeding. A good tip for getting a solid black from lino is to abrade the surface first with a wet and dry sponge, the smoother the surface, the easier it is to get a solid black. Don't try to ink up with kne pass of the roller, you will lose all your fine lines
