Ciao Mondo.
Proprio perché sono un tipo sveglio, ho dimenticato di dirti che oramai un anno fa ho realizzato la stampa del #castellodigreyskull che ci sta a pennello con l'uscita al #cinema del nuovo film #mastersoftheuniverse
30 spedita con tutta la cornice.

Farben neu verstehen.
Selbsterstellte Druckfarben aus reinen Pigmenten öffnen mir eine neue Ebene.

Weitere Nota bene Lesezeichen.

A new understanding of colour.
Homemade printing inks made from pure pigments open up a whole new world for me.

Some more Nota Bene bookmarks.

I like how the inking of this diving beetle looks a bit painterly.

This is a hand-printed of the Paroster pallescens beetle, surface diving water beetle from Australia. It is printed on 8” x 8” Japanese paper.

Paroster is a genus of beetles in the family Dytiscidae.

Nota bene. Merke wohl, der gute Gedanke und die Farbe.

Nota bene. Lesezeichen und gleichzeitig Notiz für schöne Gedanken - dies war in der Zeit der Aufklärung, also etwa zwischen 1720 und 1800, eine oft geübte Praxis. So wuchs in manchem Lesezimmer mit der Zeit ein beachtlicher, ganz persönlicher Wissensfundus an.

Heute sind wir vielleicht zu ungeduldig, zu rastlos, um beim Lesen schöne Gedanken aufzugreifen und separat zu notieren. Eigentlich schade.

Ich verwende häufig Lesezeichen als Gedankensammlung. Wirklich interessant, was sich da alles ansammelt. Und weil das so schön ist, nutze ich kleine Linoldrucke dafür. Das wertet die Gedanken noch einmal auf. Und Farben unterstreichen das noch einmal mehr.

Nota bene. Do note the good thought and the colour.

Nota bene. A bookmark and, at the same time, a note for beautiful thoughts – this was a common practice during the Age of Enlightenment, roughly between 1720 and 1800. Over time, a considerable, highly personal store of knowledge thus accumulated in many private reading rooms.

Today, we are perhaps too restless and impatient to pick up on beautiful thoughts when reading and make a separate note of them. It’s a shame, really.

I often use bookmarks as a collection of thoughts. It’s really interesting to see what accumulates there. And because it’s so lovely, I use small linocuts for this. That enhances the thoughts even further. And colours emphasise this even more.

Day two of printing my linocuts for my upcoming exhibition "Horizons".

For these print runs, I mixed my own ink colours, here I tried to go for a dark sepia brown.

Exhibition "Horizons" at Atelier du Bain aux Plantes. From 13th of June until 5th of July, open every weekend from 13:00 to 19:00.
Address: 8 rue du bain aux plantes, 67000 Strasbourg.

Dopamin pur. Ich habe nicht erwartet, wie stark sich die selbsterstellen Druckfarben auf mich und meine Künstlereien auswirken. Klar, Farb- und Strahlkraft übertreffen alle bisher verwendeten Farben. Reine Pigmente sind der Hammer! Der künstlerisch-handwerkliche Aspekt übertrifft das jedoch um Längen. Feiner, detaillierter, selektiver, pointierter!

Hier zum Vergleich neuer und alter Linolschnitt, beide mit selbstgemachten Farben gedruckt. Bin ich vor Glück besoffen? Oder seht Ihr auch den Unterschied?

So ganz nebenbei möchte ich die Tradition „Nota Bene“ wieder aufgreifen. Aber dazu später mehr.

Pure dopamine. I hadn’t expected the homemade printing inks to have such a powerful effect on me and my artistic work. Sure, the colour and vibrancy eclipse all the inks I’ve used before. Pure pigments are amazing! But the artistic and technical aspect of it all is in a league of its own. Finer, more detailed, more selective, more precise!

Here’s a comparison of a new and an old linocut, both printed with homemade inks. Am I drunk with joy? Or can you see the difference too?

By the way, I’d like to revive the ‘Nota Bene’ tradition. But more on that later.

After the carving, the printing has started! This is one of three round linocuts I made as a series. They are inspired by three paintings I made.

I handprint all my linocuts, I use the A3 printing press of Ritualis. (One of the best purchases of the last years. Very happy with it!)

I find myself in full preparation for my exhibition in. two weeks... Exiting, ever-so-slightly nervous.
