Another desperate strike at the art block and a tribute of sorts: super rusty linocut to reinitiate me into the world of printmaking. It’s not as attuned to my working style as intaglio was, but this is fun, tactile, and enough of a departure from my way of thinking that is super welcome.
It’s nothing special and definitely technically lacking (over-inked block and such) but it’s something, which is a big deal lately. Also it’s my favorite species of fish and we all know Kuhli loaches deserve all the tributes we can give.
This tank is so dim because of the amount of vallisneria leaves at the surface. I keep debating on trimming it, but I don't like the look of trimmed Val. Also, it's crept up to the front of the tank again, lol
Of course, the endlers don't mind at all. It gives the babies somewhere to chill.
The loaches love to curl themselves in between the leaves, so the more the marrier for them.
The shrimp don't care at all though. As long as there is some yummy biofilm on it, then they're happy. Look at her pickin through the sand and detritus. So cute~
