Two cuts and a minitour*

*not to be confused with a minotaur. 

I swear, I'm getting things done. Really. Here's some proof that I'm not just hanging around doing nothing all the time:


New cuts!

It's a catfish, playing with a ball of yarn seaweed. Awww. Prints soon, just working out some color stuff as I get the next round of cuts ready.

For those who are interested to see just where it is I'm making all this stuff, here's that minitour I mentioned in the title:
 
This is my half of the studio I share with Emma Quinn. Some things to note: that big ol' pile of wood shavings is from carving the cuts above; hanging on the wall are the preliminary sketches/separations for the angler (done in pink and blue highlighter), and my extremely hi-tech and professional palette is made of taped down duralar with half a ziploc bag taped over the top. (The eyes are leftover from the last people who used the space.)


This is the corner of our studio, where I've taken over the supplied tiny table with piles of prints and wood-blocks, and where we have posted a pin-up by Gil Elvgren entitled "Pleasant to Si". It's real classy-like, and is our "INSPIRATION FOR EVERYTHING" (which is written across the top, so no one forgets).
