Linoleum Cuts.

"Crystal Skull"by Ryan Jacob Smith

Linoleum cuts are an excellent medium to create incredibly crisp and dynamic prints.  Linoleum is a soft rubber-like substance which has the durability to create detail rich blocks that will withstand continual printing.  

The tools needed are simple, a roll of linoleum, and a good supply of gouges.  If you are cheap, or just poor like me, it is good to invest in a sharpening stone to extend the life of your gouges.

The great thing about lino cuts, as countless other printing methods, is the endless number of surfaces that one can print on.  Printing on cloth, paper, etc, also printing on paper and wheat pasting that shit on your local neighborhood police station.
