This engraving of a worker is from “The harvest” (les vandages); he has one hand on his left hip & in his right holds a basket with a long strap for carrying grapes on his back..

I’ll post the full harvest picture later.

Exiftool says i scanned him at 944 pixels per cm. This is 2400dpi, so that’s plausible. It makes him 1.6 inches tool, so i hope the grapes are small!

A 19th century (probably) stock block.

Techniques for copying wood engravings, and later engravings on metal, gave rise to an industry in selling printing blocks such as this one of a trapeze artist - a “stock block”.

Papier mâché moulds for metal were followed by electrotyping and finally photographic etching.

Now we have #GIMP 🙂 - scanned at 1400dpi and cleaned

After a break from #printmaking, I spent the last couple of days carving this #woodcut --

I forgot how fussy and splintery and a challenge wood (birch plywood) can be to work with. I love it! and have missed printmaking!!

-hope to finish carving and proof soon--maybe tonight?!

I'm excited to reveal the artwork for this year's LIMESTONE CYCLING TOUR t-shirt. I was asked to make a design that included bicycles and downtown Maysville.

This woodcut design uses 3 colors - and white- to keep the t-shirt printing process simple -and in budget

If you'd like to to participate in this year's ride (and get one of their beautiful t-shirts) more information is available on their website:
