Even deep-sea predators like to get a little literary sometimes.
(These two are enlarged to show texture. Much like on a cereal box.)
So there are the woodcuts I've been laboring over. They were being a total pain and splintering and causing me to use so much force with each cut that I was worried for my own safety, but then I got some expert advice and now they are not only significantly less of a pain, but they're finished! This week I'll be printing them (one on top of the other...exciting transparencies and overlaps will ensue!) and then the results will be posted for all the world to see.
Extra special bonus: brush-and-ink self portrait I did in my life-drawing sketchbook. In any case, I like it. I'm usually not so hot at the brush-and-ink business, and I feel like I'm getting the hang of it.

your woodcuts make me so, so, SO happy. printmaking studio time is my favourite kind of homework. as much as i love GD these days, i don't think i'll truly be passionate about it until i can work some printmaking into it. YAY FOR WOODCUTS they take FOREVER but they're soooo worth it
