A few years back I went to a little art gallery in NYC that was showing the great art my friend Rich Jacobs makes. While checking out his art, I came across a pencil drawing he did that was based on an old photo of mine. The photo was of the mighty Infest. I felt so honored that Rich would make a really nice drawing based on a photo of mine. But I'm sure he was motivated more by the greatness of Infest and less by my photo. Unfortunately I don't have a photo of or a copy of Rich's artwork to share here, but here's the original photo:
Infest
Infest at Spanky's Cafe.
Riverside, CA.
Maybe sometime in 1990.

So, for a little while now I've been trying my hand at linoleum block printing. Lacking some motivation and the skills to draw up something nice to eventually turning into a linocut print, I decided to try to make a print based on one of my photos. As I was trying to think of which photo I should try to work from, I remembered Rich's rendition of the Infest photo. Using that as motivation, I carefully went about turning the photo into a carved linoleum block. Here are the results:

I'm quite pleased with the results. I'm going to be making some more of these and will eventually have them available in my Etsy shop.
