“Diet Choke” Linocut Print

Description

This handcrafted linocut print depicts a satirical soda can labeled “Diet Choke” and the tagline “No Chew All Gag”. Part of a larger collection examining the American food industry’s marketing tactics, this print offers a biting commentary on diet culture and the often-questionable health claims of “diet” beverages. The playful yet pointed parody invites viewers to reconsider their relationship with processed foods and the psychology behind low-calorie marketing. A perfect addition to any kitchen, dining area, or contemporary art collection that values both aesthetic appeal and social commentary.

The creation process:
1. The design is sketched onto the linoleum block.
2. A portion of the design is carved.
3. The ink is rolled onto the surface of the block.
4. The paper is pressed into the block, then pulled off and allowed to dry.
5. The block is washed, the next design added, and carved again – each color is a separate carving step.
6. The print is fully dried, signed, and framed.
7. It makes its way (hopefully) to your home! 🙂
