I am still playing with carving eraser stamps! Here is my take on Jake the Dog from Adventure Time.

Ever look at your scrap paper and think, oh that looks pretty… this is totally just a mask for my multicoloured portrait* and a piece of paper on which I was cleaning excess ink off brayers.

*I printed my key block in black of my astronomer portrait and then cut out the shape so I could flip it over and use it to mask out areas I don’t want to get orange ink on them.

Test einer Idee. Erst durch den Probedruck begreife ich körperlich, was vorher nur im meinem Kopf war.

Testing an idea. Only through the test print do I truly physically understand what was previously only in my head.

So the #artist Alexander #Calder (known for his mobiles) apparently also liked the #circus and designed a series of small circus acts (sword swallower, belly dancer, lion tamer, trapeze artists, elephants…) out of wire, wood, fabric and other materials. He then invited friends over to watch the show. His wife Louisa was in charge of background music on the record player. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=t6jwnu8Izy0&pp=ygUTTGUgY2lycXVlIGRlIGNhbGRlcg%3D%3D&ra=m

I particularly liked the #linocut poster for his circus. Exhibited at the #FondationLouisVuitton.

Time for some more Opabinia! This is my ongoing series of prints of Opabinia, an extinct prehistoric creature which lived during the Cambrian geological time period, carved by hand in linoleum, printed onto lovely white paper with bark inclusions and collaged with Japanese papers in different colours and patterns.
