Whale for sale

Instagram and Pinterest are great for inspiration. I scroll through their pages a lot and I usually feel like getting to work immediately. A few days ago on Instagram was no different. I came across this account of a guy who was making linocuts and prints. So lovely. And it immediately made me want to do that too. The larger lino's I saw on there were too much for 'right now', but a stamp was only a little carving away. So I did and that same evening a new Stamp Family member was born. A rather large one: Whale.
I really love how it turned out. I love the simplicity and the shape. Luckily I also still have a little stash of reclaimed wood to mount it on. It's all finished now and you can get 'Stamp Whale' at Stoffer + Blik. The image above might be a postcard one day, what do you think?
