i run a lego printmaking workshop every month. this month one person made the shuba duck
besides the funny results, it's really inspiring to introduce people to printmaking with this. next month I want to explore registration techniques for multicolor prints.
yo this is wicked cool! is it made with the flat-topped 1x1 bricks on a standard baseplate?
Yep! LEGO has a "Dots" line that's just flat-topped bricks in many shapes and sizes. They take oil-based relief ink surprisingly well.
I'll have to upload some other examples soon.
I love that! It sounds like a great way to get into printmaking
yo is your pfp a shark?
i think its pretty cool
that pose on your acc tho is uhh....
i would make this an ask instead of a comment but your profile doesn't accept asks
thanks for bringing that up! I didn't know asks were opt-in. as for the header it's suggestive, but well within site guidelines.
this is so cool and delightful!! also I'm wondering what you think of this as a more accessible printmaking option? is it an all ages workshop?
Kids love it and it's safe for them, as long as they'd be safe around small plastic pieces. I advertise it as all-ages with adult supervision.
If there are concerns about the ink being messy or toxic (it's 'nontoxic' but you wouldn't want a kid to eat it) I do the inking and have them crank the rotary press.
