Block Printed Shirts

[@sillymanmcgee]

your description of how to heat set the prints was like, THE canon linoprinting description xD “iron it as much as you feel it necessary, i heat it til it feels hot, thats really it” EXACTLY

[@KyleDarnellArt]

lol

[@AWOL1969]

You have the most epic advice and I really hope people listen to it. I’ve been making t-shirts for just over a year and I’m leaning and making mistakes along the way. If I was afraid of making a mistake, I probably would never have started.

[@charlottedegraaf9126]

Same here! Printing for a year now and i am still nog satified with it😂! Watching this tutorials helps!!

You are hilarious! Thanks for the tutorial!

[@KyleDarnellArt]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@eduardoHernandez-lv8by]

Hi Kyle tell us more about your setup for block printing, big fan, new to your channel. Im currently printing without slab roller and yours looks solid! Can you share the model?

[@jzrth]

those shirts are sick, thank you for this!

[@CreativeKristenTaylor]

These are some of the NICEST lino shirts I’ve seen 😍 Your carving skills are epic

[@KyleDarnellArt]

Thank you so much

[@saiyangemini]

The Ned Flanders / Simpsons lino cut back there looks flipping awesome

[@KyleDarnellArt]

I'm so proud of it. Thank you

[@saiyangemini]

No problem any time I love your art! I'm trying to get better at lino plus it's a great way to improve your linework and steadiness of your hand. Cause idk mine just shake a lot and it makes me like rawr cause it's almost perfect then boom one nick and it's just meh not perfect 😔 so then I end up redoing the whole thing 🤦‍♀😂. But I did finally complete 10 linos that I'm happy with and I made my first t-shirt two weeks ago and it came out surprisingly good ☺ yayaya 👯 @@KyleDarnellArt

Good designs

I just found your channel! Subscribed and planning on a binge of your tutorials!

[@pamelastansbury1407]

Can you recommend a press that is not so expensive for beginners.. that actually works well? I have seen others, but they just press, you don't roll them thru...

[@goloober]

awesome video man

[@BrDivulga]

You learn make block?whats material block pliz?

[@junky802]

How long do the inks last on t shirt?

[@danielrachbauer2159]

do you have any tips on how to get the best possible result without using a press? I tried handprinting once and the results were ok, but a bit more patchy and blurry in some areas, due to the fabric shifting around slightly in some areas when printing.

[@KyleDarnellArt]

Yeah without a press is difficult. But I have had some success with flipping the shirt inside out and placing the block on the inside. This makes it so there's only one layer of fabric that you need to hand print through. I've also just ran over it with my car. Need to put plywood around it to distribute pressure. Also spraying the shirt with a mist of water can help if you are using oil based ink

[@Nirostastytable-nh5ud]

Is the block rubber?

[@charlottedegraaf9126]

Really nice short tutorial and awesome work! How come the pressure is equal even though the sleeves are folded maybe higher than the lino?

[@rahul4024]

Can you please share where you got these awesome high quality blocks for printing?

[@KyleDarnellArt]

I made them. I have a video on Linoleum Printmaking somewhere on here.

[@pocwave445]

Thanks Kyle, I am helping my daughter by making shirts for her band. They did the block print using a 1/4" thick, pliable rubber material. I am having to use a lot of ink and still using a lot of hand held pressure, rolling it with a large heavy, 25 lbs steel pipe, I am getting very spotty results. Would it be better to have to block be linoleum? Thanks. Bart

[@KyleDarnellArt]

It may just be too spongy to get even pressure. Regular linoleum would probably work better, but so would wood instead. It would at least be more consistent pressure. And I found when I'm hand printing shirts using a board works better than a roller some time. Helps distribute the weight evenly. Good luck

[@gr33n4pple]

Nice tutorial, thank you! is the linoleum the regular grey type or any specific type?

[@SplendorSolis]

Can you do multiple colors? I imagine registering the blocks is the main problem with using multiple colours.

[@KyleDarnellArt]

You probably can, I'm not going to. Sounds like a hassle.

[@ConciergeMD]

Great job Kyle. Is the image on the linoleum hand carved?

[@moodymee2915]

Wow

[@Эдуардарчер-ж1э]

Альтернатива шелкографии. Очень красиво! Мастер!

[@garykennedy]

Is there some software that converted the Lil Wayne photo to something that was carving and stamp friendly?

[@ambervandergriff8981]

What kind of press is that you have there?

[@Nirostastytable-nh5ud]

Hi dear block name pl

[@erzsebetzsadagyori2576]

I really like these t-shirts! Congratulations! :) I have a question. What kind of board do you put on the t-shirt? For me, unfortunately, when I press the t-shirt, I double-print because the linoleum engraving jumps :( :( :( So I have to print them by hand, with a spoon. It's pretty tiring :D :D :D

[@erzsebetzsadagyori2576]

@@KyleDarnellArt I will definitely try and thank you very much. thanks for the quick reply! I hope you will have a similar video. I see many creative activities interested. keep it up! i would definitely like videos like this :) u.i. I hope you understood the translation :D
