Reduction and Jigsaw editions

While working on this design, I ran into an interesting situation. Originally, I started it as a Jigsaw linocut and made 32 prints out of it. However, later on, after I got really tired of fighting with Jigsaw and the number of misprints I had, I decided to switch to reduction, starting from scratch and printing 75 more prints.

Both techniques come with their own set of artifacts and imperfections, which I deeply love. In addition, there are a few small deviations I introduced while carving the design a second time. I felt that seeing both variants would be interesting to some of you.
