Portal II Proof

February 18, 2014
2-block linoleum print
3.75"

Pulled this proof for the color block and hope to carve it a little more before printing a color run after vacation. I am thinking about a nice purple-mauve color where I have printed grey above.

It has been a busy week and I hope to transfer this design to a block of linoleum by the end of the week as I want to start carving. I think this will make for a nice two-color print and am starting to get really excited about this "Portal" series I have started.

Finished this carving in the middle of the week and am in the process of carving the color block this weekend. Should have some proofs pulled by the end of this week!

Portal Drawing IV

Pen and white-out

This sketch is after the painter A. Wyant and was of the Comet of 1882. The image spoke to me and I adjusted the rectangular composition as a circle and enjoy the amount of marks. It will be a challenge to carve the key block, but the color block will be mostly printing surface.
