Linocut Digital Art

5/16/2020

Recently I have been experimenting with monochromatic linocut style illustration techniques and ideas in Illustrator. In particular, I have been working on various floral patterns taking advantage of Illustrator's blend tool and custom art and scatter brushes to develop visual assets efficiently.

A new linocut collection is now available on my RedBubble store, featuring some of those floral designs on a variety of products including clothing, prints, cushions and phone cases.
