the next step


Mike and I spent all day yesterday carving lino blocks - trapped by another fresh foot of snow. Today we made it up to the studio and printed off the first round. Pretty, pretty good. Now, we need to make a jig and set this whole thing up on the big letterpress... I can't wait.

lino block - part two


I finally finished carving my block, part one of a print series currently in the works. It might be a while on part two... We are going to use this for some cut paper backgrounds in our upcoming show this May, so I went ahead and letterpressed over 200 sheets today. While they are drying all over our studio - we will take this opportunity to cut out early and go sledding!

squirrel

Drawn and quartered, ready to be cast. These are some tasty cuts that are ready for seasoning.
It is great after all the hype to get into the next step with this project. Rather than a hairy varmint heating up in a block of plaster we had him? 3-d scanned. Tail coming soon.
