| While searching the Internet for some new funny animal videos, I stumbled across these face-breakingly beautiful linocuts by Edward Bawden. Bawden was a ridiculously prolific illustrator, whose work can be found everywhere from book covers and Folio Society book illustrations to the walls of the London Underground. But I just can’t get enough of these colour prints from his London markets series. If you’ll excuse me, I have to gouge out my eyes now. |     |

Those are fantastic, really well done. Have you ever made linocuts? Lot of fun, like slicing into a block of cheese.
Not since high school. I remember being terrified that I'd slip, and the cutting tool (I just looked it up, and was delighted to discover that it's actually called a "gouge") would carve a serpentine line into my face.
