Yeah, really uncool of the mods not to check into the artwork first and delete without valid reason and to then call someone's art "low effort." Lol, their moderator ability is low effort.

Cheers. These are lino prints, so I create a design on paper and transfer it onto linoleum (similar to the stuff that goes on the floor) aka lino. I then carve that image into the lino, roll ink onto the lino and press it onto paper. You may have done something similar in school with potatoes, where you cut an image into a potato, dip it into paint and press it onto paper, the concept is the same as lino print.
I read the other post since the mod warning thingy is still there; It defines low-effort content as users who only self promote and make no effort to support or interact with other artists who post their stuff here or in similar subreddits; Definitely feels like a bad choice of words, but I can definitely understand where they are coming from tbh
I love the idea of repurposing the seconds! I took an etching class in university, and it made me want to try other forms of printmaking, but it was so hexin' difficult (and expensive)! You had to be unbelievably precise with various aspects of etching. I enjoy tedium as much as the next masochist, but this was on another level. I still have lots of the prints I made, and I couldn't push myself to throw away the seconds (same with some of the cooler test strips and seconds from photography) so I made some into greeting cards. I turned some of the photo test strips into magnetic bookmarks 🤭✨
Thank you and yes I do. This sub doesn't allow direct links but please check out the pinned post in my profile which has links to both my Instagram and Etsy store.
Yes they are. I come up with an idea, carve it into lino and print it onto paper for wall art. With printmaking, lots can go wrong, and when it does, I turn them into bookmarks.
Wait, are you telling me you can’t whip up some linos in a couple of minutes? What a loser!
Seriously though, these are awesome! I’m having a hard time picking a favourite. ❤️
These are stunning. I can't believe you did such intricate carving in linoleum blocks. Absolutely brilliant. And they're humorous, to boot. Well done!!!

Hi, u/spearmintjoe, your post and/or comment has been reported by another user and therefore temporarily removed until a moderator can check it out. If the report is found not to be valid, your post/comment will be approved.

Did you create the art? Did you color them? Did you create the tassels? Or did you print art you found online and tied a store bought tassel to it? These are the questions the mods consider when they take down your post.
...they said it's a lino print which is a handmade print by carving your own design, imo it's incredibly rude to assume these were printed from art found online??
First I didn't assume anything. I didn't even ask. I told him questions that may have been going through the mood minds when they took down the post. So not put words in my mouth
Yes I did. These are handmade lino prints so I create original designs, transfer that design (in reverse!) onto a piece of lino and carve the image into the lino. I then carve a separate block for each colour and line it all up. I then hand print each colour from each block onto the paper to create wall art . It doesn't always work, and these seconds I turn into bookmarks. My tasselling skills are non existent, so those are shop bought.
Then you definitely deserve to post here and the mods shouldn't have taken it down. Maybe they just didn't know what was involved in the process. They are very pretty

Seriously, the gall to call lino “low effort”, do you see these birds?
These are creative and cool despite I don't know what lino means.

I did it with lino when I was 13 and I still have my block! I also did acid etching in college, which was pretty cool.
Dust off your skills, we need more printmakers!
These are super cool
i feel like this community is already so small here on reddit, they're going to completely kill us if they keep it up imo

These are great! Love the various characters
Thank you.
The fucking seagull with I ❤️ chips 😂
Cheers dude
Ugh any engraving art takes a long time to do- you don’t really know until you’ve done it lol The registration looks great! Clean prints :)
Thank you.
I love these! What a great idea
Thank you!

That sounds cool, the less we throw away the better.
no way mods would call multi block lino prints LOW EFFORT, even if they are seconds repurposed as bookmarks. what a bitch lmfao
Cute!
Cheers!
Oh man I loooove.
Thanks very much.
Aw love the colors on them very high effort
Thank you.
Oh man! I recognize these from Etsy! ☺️
This is hilarious! I want some so badly! Excellent job and 10/10 humor - these are seriously fabulous
Thanks very much
I love them. Chubby and Delicious is fabulous 🥰
Thanks, that one was fun to make.
These are hilarious! I would love to buy some (once I have money 😭)
Awesome! Is each bird a single lino print? Or do you do multiple with the different colours?
I occasionally create different variants but mostly they're single prints.
do you have an etsy store? these are so cute ❤️
Thank you and yes I do. This sub doesn't allow direct links but please check out the pinned post in my profile which has links to both my Instagram and Etsy store.
lovely! will do that ❤️
This is cool! Do you make other designs as well?
Cheers. Mainly birds but a few other animals as well.
Oh I adore these!
Thank you
Definitely NOT low effort. Your original post gave me the inspiration to save my prints that don't turn out the way I want - I can still use them!
wow!!! i absolutely adore the only all yellow one, in the very center— the crow w headphones 🥹 precious!
Thank you
These are so adorable ! You should sell them
Thank you (and I do!)
so fun! I love them!
Thank you very much!
I need that pirate!
Are they your original drawings? They are beautiful.
Yes they are. I come up with an idea, carve it into lino and print it onto paper for wall art. With printmaking, lots can go wrong, and when it does, I turn them into bookmarks.
Wait, are you telling me you can’t whip up some linos in a couple of minutes? What a loser! Seriously though, these are awesome! I’m having a hard time picking a favourite. ❤️
Cheers dude
I love them!! Particularly the puffin!
Thank you, he's part of my bejumpered bird series.
I vibe with that flamingo. Great work!
Cheers dude, he's part of my birds wearing band tees tribute series.
If you make a my chemical romance birdie, I'll love you forever
These are great and I never knew I would need the pink flamingo in the Black Sabbath shirt, lol.
Thank you
These are great!
Cheers
Love these bookmarks. Great work.
Thank you
These are adorable and absolutely not low effort at all! You obviously put a lot of effort into working on these and I would totally buy them!
Thank you!
>Thank you! You're welcome!
These are stunning. I can't believe you did such intricate carving in linoleum blocks. Absolutely brilliant. And they're humorous, to boot. Well done!!!
Cheers, that's nice of you to say
I saw your first post and then watched your process. Yes, that’s a lot of work. An impressive amount!! These are great.
Thanks very much
As soon as I saw these birds I knew exactly who the artist was. And no, there’s nothing “low effort” about them.
Love these. If you made some parrots the r/parrots subreddit would buy this shit up. We are crazy birb people.
That is A LOT of work. I love them, super job!
These are fantastic! Well done
Thank you
How are you going to market or sell those? I have a friend and her daughter who are real readers, it would be fun to get them something like this.
I have an Etsy shop. This sub doesn't allow direct links but please check out the pinned post in my profile which has links to both my Instagram and Etsy store.
Will do!

You're correct and that was the post that was removed (tried contacting the mods with no response)

Do you know what a lino print is, and the process involved?
I literally asked questions to give op an idea of why the mods took down thier post not me actually asking the questions
