RED Durer

Durer

This is one of my first Printmaking projects a collaboration piece with the whole printmaking class, which we only had a week to do! I know just a week and I'm glad I finished it and in four days too. I'm not bragging or anything, but I'm pretty damn proud of it. The image we had to carve out is is A4 sized and the image is from a section from an existing xylograph image by Painter, Drawer, Engraver and Mathematician Albrecht Durer. This whole Image itself is called "Escape To Egypt".

My first proper lino block every, I mean I did a little bit of lino block carving in high school but it was way simple and very crap also it was a long time ago. And I can safely say I've come a long way from pretty much nothing.

My second printmaking projects is on it's way, nearly finished but I have to fix it up because the ink decided it didn't like part of my lino block, so most of my prints have had ugly patches of no ink. Do not fear I know how to fix it and when it's fixed I will be able to stop stressing out about it.

I don't even want to talk about what's been happening with my painting because it has really been not going anywhere unfortunately. I wish I could say I'm very happy about my work in painting like I am with printmaking but I seem to have struck an uninspiring area for it, hopefully I will get out of it soon because I need as much inspiration in my final works that has been slowly coming along.

I guess that's all... a very long post, until next time this is me signing off.

Arrows

So I found an off cut of linoleum and it was too small to do any proper projects with and it was a bit too big to throw away and being me I hate throwing away anything. So what I did was draw then carved out using lino tools this arrow design on it. I printed this design onto some card and it seems to be making pretty neat bookmarks. I seem to have a thing for drawing in arrows into my drawings I don't know why it's just something I've been doing recently.

I Love Lino Block Printing
