    Good looking effect there. Reminds me of those things we did in junior high with the gray rubbery stuff that had to be carved out and then inked and printed...whatever that was called.
    If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

    That was a linoleum block print. It's used the same way that a wood block is for printing. So I guess it looks like a print. Good job.

    The effect looks nice graphically and it is very clear to read. It might just be a little too clean and neat. Wood block carving lines are usually a little rougher and straighter but I am really just nitpicking.

    Here is a close up of a block print that you can see irregularities on, and this one is by Durer, arguably the best woodblock printer ever.

    Thanks for showing.

    To my eye the effect looks really nice. I'm not bothered by the cleanness. I think it will leave more space wor the other details.
