LINOCUT PRINTS
Linocut prints involve cutting a design into a piece of linoleum, applying ink to the surface, and using it like a stamp to transfer the design onto a piece of paper. This can be done by hand or by using a press.

Though he recently had his work on display at the Rourke Art Museum, Peterson's newest project is a linocut series of the fifty states. Peterson has also taught after-school classes. "I was talking to little children and I was using all this printmaking jargon and I could see their eyes roll back into their heads. Then one kid goes up and said, 'So you make really cool stamps?' And I said, 'Yeah, that's what I do,'" Peterson smiled.
