Studio Saturday, falsely backdated because that's just the kind of slackass I am
And it's not like I didn't spend all day Saturday in front of the computer and still couldn't be arsed to upload one stinking picture.
Here's the print seen in the rack last week, all pinned together. Sorry about the glare from the fluorescent light, but this thing is hanging pretty close to the ceiling in my studio.
This is just an in-between layer, and will likely be mostly covered up. Right now it's several lithographs covered in a layer of white ink with the figure (linocut) printed on top in yellow. Which was supposed to look sort of beige, like the background in a road map, but guess what? When you mix up an obnoxiously bright opaque yellow and print it on top of mostly green and white, that doesn't make beige. Who knew? (pleasefortheloveofgod don't let them make me teach colour theory next year, because the seat-of-the-pants method is probably not what they want people to learn).
So I don't have a lot else to show; the four woodcut panels are all cut out for the first colour, and I carved off all the background from the Venus Prodigiosa block so that she looks like a cutout doll. I also blew up the self portrait Tuesday image from two weeks ago to about 1.5 times life size and transferred it onto a litho stone but couldn't be bothered to pull a proof from any of those. Yes, the biggest obstacle between me and all my life's dreams is LAZINESS. Could you tell?
Instead here's a very exciting photo of another one of the woodblocks, so remarkably different from the last one you saw. Hah.

I love the colour of that first print, green's my thing at the moment (along with the orange!). I'd hang that in my home just the way it is, but a bit smaller I think, might scare DS! lo

This was the topic of my Studio Saturday post, and will surely be the topic of nearly every Studio Saturday entry in my blog.
You should set up a Studio Saturday Flickr group or something, drum up more business.
