Description

Yay, finally with the upload of this! :D It's my pride and joy, and one of the final prints for my last project (the other one being The Impossible Bridge.) It looks a lot like this etching:

That's basically because in a tutorial, my tutor saw the etching, liked the composition and thought it would look good as a linocut. I basically do what I'm told. :aww: On the other hand, I did work very hard on this (HOURS of cutting the bloody lino) and the teachers were very happy with the way I used colour, composition and all those other things art teachers love.

I did many prints of this, and this is the best one: a nice colour combination, not too much ink or too little, and even though it's not registered properly (i.e. the two coloured layers are not properly lined up- I did not get this right on ANY of them. I suck. :rage:), it looks good despite this. Sorry about the wonkiness though- I did my best to make it look as OK as I good, but unfortuntely due to my bad registering, the print is not actually a perfect rectangle. Also, sorry about the damn grey border. :shakefist:

Comments and critique very welcome, as always! Your comments make me happy. :blowkiss: A description of how the linocut process works can be found in the description for this deviation: [link]

Media used: lino, oil based ink
Time taken: about 3 days in total marking out and cutting the lino, 2 days printing (not in a row, allowing for ink drying times)

I love this media of art, and wish I saw more in the art world and less commercial. This is lovely.
