Such amazing attention to detail - your ability to plan, develop and produce such consistently excellent artwork is good for the soul!

[@МаратГогаев-к1л]

Прекрасно. Большое спасибо за ваш труд

[@slurp451]

I'm starting my journey into linocut and engravings and seeing your videos give me motivation to go all out! Thank you 💯

[@sherryk4960]

I just can’t get over how amazing your work is.

[@bigdeal875]

Are you not making videos anymore? I miss getting to watch your amazing talent.

[@trtlldth]

The best work process I've ever seen!

[@blacknight1003]

Absolutely exceptional - your work on the linocuts just gets better and better. Also, your editing skills. Thanks for sharing.

[@ShrimpDogg]

One more amazing work! It hurts so much that now my country has staged a full-scale war with the freedom of brotherly neighbors. I hope that soon we will live without tyrants and in peace with each other. Sorry for the politics, just looking at this work, I was thinking about what exactly is happening right now. Not all Russians want this war, someone is really hurting a lot, and he cannot speak out openly, since criminal liability has been introduced for this. ☮️☮️☮️

[@Knorrette]

Lets hope and pray this insane war ends soon. Beautiful work, as always.

[@pant0sand0hat]

So many forms of artistic expression on display, video included. Thank you!

[@CAZZIEK321]

Incredible. You are a true grand master of print. I am only just starting out and I’m making so many mistakes. It’s a hard and expensive journey as I try to develop my skills.

Wow, when I see this attention to detail I realize how quickly I cut my works. I need to slow down and focus. And I also have a cat!

Beautiful catalogue of work, thank you for documenting your process. Could you share where you source your materials and supplies?

Respect!

[@TheSir713]

Amazing work! Thank you for sharing your gift with us. Where do you source your linocut materials? I am looking for materials/tools for advanced or professional users. Is there a good online store you can recommend? Thanks

[@royroi5564]

Amazing

[@pacovl46]

Are you still alive? It’s been two years since your last upload!

[@aliciaevans412]

Just wow ❤️ Amazing craftsmanship. Can I ask what paper you print on and what make your Lino knife is.

[@sleepybird1]

Love this--what is the music?

[@a.r.3742]

Ok this is about the 3rd or 4th video I've watched. It's beautiful and so depressing! Your work is so precise, and neat, and intentional. It looks like every line...it looks as if there are no accidental markings, Even though I'm sure there are. I wasn't going to bug you with this, but I've decided to ask anyway. Do you teach? Not so much the basics of relief printing, but the actual cutting itself. Also I can tell from your work that you think about the print in a deliberate way, and that's why you're getting the results that you get. I'm in the middle of a small, 10x14 cm linoleum cutting, and it looks like woodpeckers have been at it! Do you have architectural training? I'm wondering if I need to take a drafting class... anyway, gorgeous as always..

[@sirm00]

Wow 😮

Mate, are you still alive? It’s been a year since your last upload!

[@sergejsauliciems9341]

Visu cieņu!!! Lepojos ar tevi! Es domāju ka J. Zālītis teiktu to pašu!!❤❤🤍❤❤

[@meltdowngrfx969]

Saw your reel on IG today - very cool. Great video. How many hours did you put into this artwork? Thanks.

[@orion7741]

Hello, very nice work and video! I have a question for you. It looks like you print the black immediately after you print the red, does that mean that red ink is still wet on the paper when you print the black? I have noticed this on another video as well, but just did not ask then. thanks!

Estás demente! Which ink is it? 2:49

[@maksimstoikiy4247]

Очень красиво получилось. Внимание к деталям на высоте! 🇧🇾🤝🏻🇱🇻🤝🏻🇷🇺

[@acsatornad]

What is the exact brand of the cutting tool you are using? :)

[@keshermedia]

😳😳😳🤔👍👍👍

[@harlem4039]

👏👏👏👏☉

[@bdee1084]

What are these books

[@barneycripps2863]

Awesome. Great choice of music too. Why do you paint over the lino before you start cutting? Doesn't it make it harder to see the lines?

[@santisis]

Since the carving is in negative, painting it black makes easy to visualize how it will look when printed.

[@heathmontcentral5279]

Clean, fuck

[@laynervixxer]

Isn’t the Lnnk a far right/nationalist party??

[@orion7741]

It is all part of history. history is more important than politics!

[@laynervixxer]

@@orion7741 so we are supposed to forgive fascism because it’s part of history? Are you dumb?
