About The Author - Linocut

Continuing with linocut I drew out this image far to ambitious for my talents. Changing my way of thinking about drawing with shape was challenging and I soon gave up on this way of trying to transfer the drawings onto the Lino.

Now drawing straight onto the Lino I had to force myself to go about image making using shape. I made this image of how I imagine the super intelligent race that project themselves as mice. Un expectedly the printed result looks strangely ancient, aztec almost  
I like the texture achieved in these prints however in order to get a clean print I need to use the print room resources, i.e. proper ink and a press. Here I used only acrylic paint and my poor excuse for a roller.

Working with shape in this way intrigues me, work born of this could tie in really well with some of the novels.
