I’ve included each stage of the process for this print. I snapped a photo of a guy flying a kite the other day and liked something about the diagonal composition. Then I drew a version of it with Procreate. Digital drawing can help with developing linocuts because you can draw in white just as easily as with black, unlike working with graphite and erasers. Next I carved it in reverse on a lino block, and printed an edition by press in the studio.
I’m currently showing a print in Épinal, France, as my contribution to the Atelier Kitchen Print Biennale. I’m accompanied by a diverse collection of printmaking artists from all over the world, featuring a range of techniques including engraving, mezzotint, screen print, lithography, and relief.
I will be contributing work to the upcoming group show at Tashkeel about this year’s pandemic. View more information and exhibition catalogue here.
Now available as an 11x14” print in the online shop.
At least we can all agree on pessimism.
