Because when I make fan art, I like it to be as obscure as possible
Sure, it looks like a linocut of a loon but really it's a symbol of queer hockey transcendence

[ETA: I want to use some of the shimmering ink* to create the iridescent effect of the black feathers and to do the red eye -- painting ink on overtop of the print didn't do what I wanted, so maybe painting it right onto the printing block somehow?]
* specifically, Octopus Fluids' Witch, pine green with purple sheen

If I make a painting, I have one (1) painting, and if I want prints I need a special scanner, etc. But a linocut just needs more ink.
Cool.
It fulfills my weird and often unproductive compulsion to do everything myself and never ask for help.
