Linoprint

A print of a different kind

,

I decided to do a print of my friends Border Collie with a different style than I have been doing recently. I wanted to do something more cartoony than I normally do. He is a sweet, super snuggly dog but he always has a goofy look in his eyes. My friend says he always looks stoned. His eyes are very bright blue in stark contrast to his black and white fur. I also printed it in blue ink and made the floor boards in the the print slightly slanted just for fun. I hope you like it.

Final Carving & First Test Print of Granny

Here are photos of the final carving before the first test print, inking the lino for the first time, and the very first print. I will need to do some touch up carving before the final prints can be made, but it's looking like a good start. It looks like I need to lighten up the shadows below the eye and on her cheek.
