Getting The Block Printed With The Aesthetic Union, James Pulling The First Print. I Love Putting Dreams

Getting the block printed with The Aesthetic Union, James pulling the first print. I love putting dreams onto woodblocks and linocuts and doing the carving, but I’m getting more comfortable with delegating the final printing to someone who does it professionally everyday of their lives. Watching someone intuit the needed pressure, ink density, and being able to adapt around problems quickly, it makes you appreciate collaboration. Not having to do everything on your own.

The leaning giant. 2 months into carving, finishing up branching and moving to foliage. With trees that are a couple hundred years old and above, every branch has its own character after weathering multiple storms, droughts, and breakages.

The leaning giant, loosely based on an actual redwood from our mountain that I see almost everyday. The three bends in the upper part of the tree are actually caused by breakages it had in the past and healed over, so it gives the tree an almost snake like trunk. 3 1/2 months of carving.
