For our printmaking project, we had to make up a cause that wasn’t a real cause and make a linocut poster for it. I went through a few ideas and came up with Say No to UFO’s. I was gunna draw a UFO and cross it out with a red circle cross. . After I designed and printed the UFO I decided it was more Pro UFO and I decided to go with it. I also thought carving out and printing the cross out it would take so much away from my design. I have some printing time in class before it’s due, so I may do it in different colors, I just don’t have them at home.
Excellent! My mom still has a print of my highschool lino cut based on a wee figure from one of her vintage skirts. I remember both hating & loving the process. Yours turned out great! Will you try stamp carving on a softer medium next? It’s really fun.
Your theme should be Let’s Go UFO!! I love this. My Dad and I are UFO nuts. We have even traveled to drive by Roswell twice as vacations. Ha!
I love how balanced and graphic the design is. I agree, the red circle would pull away from the composition and obstruct the visual of the UFO, which is amazing.
I really like Let’s Go UFO! I’m going to steal that. I was thinking about making a small green checkmark in lino like “approved”. I also maybe could get away with doing it in oil pastel.

Congrats! This project is bloomin’ fantastic and one of this week’s featured projects!
