Thanks for the compliment. Linocuts and monotypes have been considered printmaking for hundreds of years. Those pen plots are also collaged and modified by hand, so not only mechanical. I see all that as traditional printmaking. As for having nothing to saw, there can be a lot of fulfillment in exploring basic themes, like geometric shapes or silhouettes of animals.

There’s no doubt that stuff is print making. My point is that there are multiple ways of doing (within each of these): relief, Intaglio, lithography, screen printing, offset.

So if you say, “I’m a print maker,” it describes basically nothing. :)

This is just a general statement, not directed at you. Sorry it felt that way.
