Awesome photo. @fujita_norihisa managed to get コラン ‘Coran’ into more or less the same pose as my design. Great to have a full set of photos of the cats to go alongside each design. www.meroedraws.com #コラン #illustration #printmaking #lino #supersoftlino #cats #catbar #susukino #sapporo #hokkaido #japan #blackandwhite #barfujita (at Susukino, Sapporo) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEys_ojh0fu/?igshid=kmc7deqqdaq1

ブラン ‘Buran’ with his print. Feel I really nailed the likeness with this one. He’s a very friendly and affectionate gent. @fujita_norihisa www.meroedraws.com #illustration #lino #linoprint #freehand #supersoftlino #blackandwhite #catbar #cats #susukino #sapporo #hokkaido #japan #ブラン　#ねこ #printing (at Susukino, Sapporo) https://www.instagram.com/p/CErBY0qhVLb/?igshid=1hsoa4i4sap8e

@fujita_norihisa is photographing the prints side by side with his cats. Awesome to see. Here’s my first design with its subject メロウ (Merrow) - the bar’s resident grandfather cat. www.meroedraws.com #illustration #print #lino #linoprint #supersoftlino #barfujita #sapporo #susukino #blackandwhite #cats #catbar #hokkaido #japan #メロウ (at Susukino, Sapporo) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEmqz6zh2Q-/?igshid=3subj9dj1b7a

Back at it again today. Took me a while to start printing this week. Nearly half way now. www.meroedraws.com #illustration #printmaking #relief #linoprint #supersoftlino #cat #martiniglass #fujita #barfujuta #sapporo #hokkaido (at Camberwell) https://www.instagram.com/p/CC1a0iyJy5E/?igshid=1oo397u9qwmkd

More process. Drafting out postcard 2. Sadly I’m smashing through the super soft link faster than I’d prefer. Looking forward to testing out colour combinations on postcards once I’ve got all 4 designs done. @fujita_norihisa www.meroedraws.com #printing #reliefprinting #supersoftlino #lino #cats #catbar #illustration #penandink #inkonpaper #freehand #blackandwhite (at Camberwell) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCEUCFFpxur/?igshid=whc5qbirk4u3

Decided I’d work on making yesterday’s attempt more graphic. Definite pay off today. Will be developing these into postcards. www.meroedraws.com #inkonpaper #freehand #linocut #supersoftlino #postcarddesign #postcard #cat #martini #illustration #blackandwhite (at Camberwell) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB3NQVCpoVb/?igshid=6w50i78ro6j1

Carving blocks using super soft Lino to make a set of postcards. Not as easy as I remember. Forgot about the loss of detail as I haven’t done relief printing for a while. Bit annoyed but I’ll get over it. www.meroedraws.com #printing #lino #supersoftlino #cats #animals #illustration #freehand #blackandwhite #reliefprinting (at Camberwell) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB0zo04pmRR/?igshid=gn75rj10t4c6
