Pluto's Toy - Finished piece with pencil (for scale)
I've been pretty silent lately, but have no fear, I have continued working on my artwork as time has permitted. My regular day job has been very busy the last couple months partially due to the coronavirus and partly due to lack of co-workers.
I was at least able during this time to finish this large linocut as well as work on some smaller pieces that I'll have to make a post for as well. I was very exciting to get this piece finally completed as I was able to submit it for consideration for an upcoming exhibition.

The last couple colors such as the dark grey and black actually took longer to print than most of the much larger colors. Some of the areas were difficult to ink up such as the hardware parts that secure the neon. It would normally take about 5 to 6 minutes for me to simply ink up these tiny little pieces properly. It's very easy to over ink these areas and I'm usually very good at that, but I really paid very close attention to how much ink was on the brayer.
I have a fair amount of pieces that are currently in progress including three different Maine lighthouses, some more neon and a still life (or two).
I enjoy making these posts and hopefully will have some time open up so that I can do more of them more often. Have a nice day!
