Composition #4, hand carved woodcut print of Mount Pleasant train station in Canada. These are quite fun and relaxing to make even though its less forgiving than painting - if a mistake is made during the carving process you can't exactly fix it :P. The fact that I had no issues with the carving is great :D.

The woodcut is limited edition printed by hand on beautiful paper with a mixture of cotton and paper pulp made in France(yes I am nerding out about paper). Each print is numbered and signed by me and comes with a written thank you note :D.

The print is 20.5 cm x 15.5 cm , 8 inch x 6 inch. Paper is 24 cm x 18 cm, 9.5 inch x 7 inch

On November 12, 1833, there was a meteor shower so intense that it was possible to see up to 100,000 meteors crossing the sky every hour. At the time, many thought it was the end of the world, so much so that it inspired this woodcut by Adolf Vollmy.

I got a new tattoo this week! It depicts a magpie stealing the last point of light from an eclipse, a phenomenon sometimes referred to as the “diamond ring”. I’m absolutely in love with it.

Here’s some development for a print in progress. This is the sketch. It is subject to change. The actual print is going to be sized 24 inches by 48 inches and it’s going to be woodcut.

From first sketch to last sketch. Next will be getting the last sketch onto the 2 foot by 4 foot birch plywood, and then carving it. This time, I have better power tools on my side.

The big print is making its way over to the wood.

Big print. Ready start carving tomorrow.

A day’s carving progress.

Carved and ready to proof tomorrow.

Test print on t-shirt fabric. This print is going to be printed via road roller tomorrow, and after that, I am going to be printing an edition on kozo paper with graphite black.

This was the main part of my thesis from last year, an exploration of my experience growing up being encouraged to leave behind the connection to nature I had as a kid, and now my journey into reforming that connection.

"Squirming" I've been able to take some courses on printmaking lately. This is actually my first try at woodcut prints. Definitely much harder to carve than lino blocks.
