“Above the Valley” - My first attempt at Mokuhanga (Japanese Woodcut) was met with many failures learning how to print properly with the least expensive good materials I could source. Obviously, I’m still not very good at it, and my image is a simple boring landscape - but my patience has reached enormous levels, and I totally love the catharsis involved in this printmaking process

New linocut. Two birds, two fish, tessellated. One print in black & white and one using a stenciled 2-pass monotype as color. (It was mostly an experiment in adding color via some other method than hand coloring or additional blocks.) This print and its design were inspired by one of Escher’s woodcut tesselations. The title is “One of These Birds…” size is 11in x 10in (27cm x 25cm) #printmaking #reliefprint #blockprint

Two color combos on this etched linoleum plate, title “The Space” (6in x 6in, 15cm x 15cm)

Finished, just need to sign and edition. “Lake Erie Morning” - 7-color reduction woodcut. 16in x 11in (40cm x 28cm)

Color #6 added to my new reduction woodcut print, one color left to print. Working title “Lake Erie Morning”

Work in progress: my first woodcut reduction print, 7 colors, 5 done. Working title, “Lake Erie Morning”

Draft print of my new “ode to Escher” tessellation linocut. There will be changes: adding color and possibly changing the black background to something textured/crosshatched. printmaking relief print block print
