Alright So These Are All The Blocks I Just Printed This Afternoon Shown With A Good Example Of The Prints

alright so these are all the blocks I just printed this afternoon shown with a good example of the prints I made from them.

valentine's day Gunnels I intend on coloring. they will be pretty glorious, not that they aren't already

the rose was originally a study but I liked it and I think I still do.  it's pretty basic but it's easy to get bogged down trying to work small and I have to keep it iconic to make it work.

next after that is a trillium. same deal different flower.

after that, queen of pomegranates. her face looks like it was mde by De Kooning and the idea was kind of stupid so these are probably going to become mixed media. but the dog turned out rather well so I'm happy.

after that is slugs posed in a classic crowned ouroboros. which I happen to love, fits very well into my general theme of taking classic mythological and alchemical symbolism and making it out of things native and familiar to me.

ta- fucking dah.

Intaglio Print, black ink on white paper.

another one I will probably slap on a scanner later on, as unlike a lot of my stuff it's small enough to be scanned.

you know what, no explanations on this one, and no title. I've been talking enough on my other stuff. just look at it for a bit and figure out what you think is going on. that's just as valid as anything I have to say about it.

Take the Bull by the Horns. mixed media collage with modified south-western themed cross-stitch kit, and red label-maker labels.

the text plastic really wants to curl and not stick to anything, so this may require me to go after it with a glue gun in a bit to keep everything together.

whatevs, it was a break from my big project. and now I am going to sleep.

Pisces, edition of 16

I finally carved this super cool clear linoleum sample that Nick gave me and printed on one sheet of BFK which I ripped into 16 bits. (which would be funnier if this was pixel art, but alas)

Damn I love the clear linoleum so much. it is beautymus.

image is drawn after these little soy sauce bottles I have. Done to do something silly. Start to finish a couple of hours out of today put to good use.

Chicken of the Woods (with a nuthatch and a chickadee)

Chanterelle Mushrooms
