woodblock vs lino

This week I want to compare two similar techniques: woodblock and lino.

Starting with the woodblock. Using some sort of (relatively) soft, tropical wood that I got from the wood workshop. What was the most difficult was that you had to 'carve' in the same direction as the woodgrain (vertical in this case). So all the horizontal carving was pretty much impossible in my woodblock.

After the woodblock this was easy. It was cool that you could play with the direction you were 'carving'...

I also did some analog photo printing in the darkroom.
