LOL

Has the phrase LOL ever been used to comment on something that was actually funny?  I don’t think so. It is an excellent way to provoke violence imho.  Don’t get me started on bloody imho!

Look and lol at my lovely pictures!

Printing Relief

Yesterday Amanda and I spent the day on a relief printing course at Badger Press in Bishop’s Waltham. We had a great day with some inspiring tuition. It was my first experience of linocutting and I really enjoyed it and learnt a lot. My designs were based on ideas I had worked up in inkscape beforehand and are maybe quite simplistic but I’m really pleased with them. I sometimes doubt that I can create anything with my hands so it was great fun proving my doubts wrong & overcoming the Schweinehund.

I have uploaded the images here.

All Teeth No Eyes

I’ve been trying to come up with an idea to work on at a printmaking course on Saturday. I came up with a simple design based on a piece of writing I’ve been playing with, about irrational fear of one’s fellow man.  It’s called “All Teeth, No Eyes“.
