Loads of new Swoons, by pezlow on Oct 26, 2007 14:31:30 GMT 1, Ahhh that explains it. But the site did say screenprint for a number of them....
Just had my delivery arrive from papermonster. Having a bit a mare today as the swoon has a fingerprint on it that I don't think can be removed and the borf has 2 black marks right in the middle of it when it got damaged in transit. Not very impressive at all....

Loads of new Swoons, by dave313perry on Oct 26, 2007 14:47:57 GMT 1, www.blackratpress.co.uk/product-kiku.php?gallery=yes
Clearly the Kiku piece says screenprint on mylar - maybe its miss typed because i swear 'The Girl From Ranoon Province' said the same before, so im with you on this Perry
I would have thought that to be originals they are hand drawn and cut on paper or whatever it is she uses. A little e-mail to Blackrat would sort it out, so much out of my pprice range anyway but hey ho!!!

Loads of new Swoons, by absyrd on Oct 26, 2007 14:58:56 GMT 1, For those who don't know, the thing about lino and woodcuts is that you get really fast image degradation over time. The more you print, the more ink you get on the spots you don't want it. You can keep chipping away at those spots, but the wood is only going to last so long. Eventually you also get crazy ink buildup and whatever else stuck to the surface, so you can't get as crisp of the desired area. You can clean those areas with different oils, alcohol, or other solvents, but that, too, stops working effectively after a while. Since Swoon says she loves "decay" and whatnot, she probably enjoys some of the later prints rather than the earlier.
Doing it on mylar, however, makes you be able to stretch the image a bit longer because, unlike printing paper, it doesn't "give" as much and get pushed down into those undesired areas.
A wood or linocut print is as original as it gets, unless she sells you the actual piece of wood (which would be dope).
I love the fact that Swoon uses this age-old technique on decaying paper in her street work. Definitely makes her stand out and also catches the eye of more traditional art fans.
