Generation - 3x3" Mini Reduction Linocut
So about a month to a month and a half ago I finished up on this Pepsi mini print. Since that time I decided to take a little step back and relax a little bit rather than attempting to push my way through some printing...kinda like recharging my batteries.
I've started a new 12x16" piece and I'm working on a 4th Ice Cream linocut as well. I've also begun the process of creating a new larger scale reduction linocut that will be about the same rough size as the Racer linocut that I finished a couple months back. The new one will also be around 16x34 inches and the color count will increase from 6 to around 14. I want to do something large with a lot of colors for no real reason other than to do it. I dreaded printing on some of those days while working on the Racer, but I guess it didn't take too long for me to get over those feelings.
I was actually going to print last week, but decided that I needed to do a little reorganization of the room that I do my artwork in (it's a spare bedroom). If you've ever reorganized anything then you know that it usually becomes a much, much larger project than you ever anticipate. I'm still in the process of finishing it up today.
If things work out, I'm hoping to get that piece started by mid-late fall. I have my subject matter, but I'm also going to keep my options open because I have a trip coming up to Maine and may see what kind of subject matter/inspiration I come home with from there.
Anyhow, for those that have checked my blog while I was away and didn't see any updates they should start to come a little more frequently now that I'm about to get back into the swing of things.
