Here's a sneak peek at what I'm working on this week. I'm getting a bit obsessive about the folds of cloth. I've been working over a photo I found online, using a pen to darken the shadows and white out paint to heighten the highlights. I haven't yet decided where it's going. I'd quite like to make a huge linocut or even a woodcut of it. Maybe even life size. We'll see...
go for it... a life size woodcut would be fab!

Love it. Didn't know lino print work could be so... fluid.
ReplyDeleteWell, even if you use it at "normal photo size" it will be pretty amazing, if you make the cuts as you've marked them on your plan. I love the flowing look of the folds - great for someone who's under water! I also like the face looking out from the diver's helmet - he even has a moustache!
ReplyDeleteA large version could be fabulous!
Will you make it a 2 colour work? Grey as well as black and white? Or screen print on some wateriness?
