Finally printed this big one! 52"x17"- "S'conset Circle" woodcut. You're looking at 4 hours of printing (and months of drawing and carving)

The Glasgow Boys- a group of painters who broke away from the academic traditions of their day to form their own "succession" and inspired others in Vienna, Munich, etc.

The "Harpy Celaeno" by Mary Pownell, 1902, Kelvingrove museum, Glasgow. Possibly my fav sculpture of all time. Talk about fierce!

I've always preferred drawing w a classic, yellow #2 pencil that I sharpen w a box cutter. I have access to "nicer" art pencils in my classroom, but I always use the #2. It seems "punk" to me.

Finally finished carving this woodcut. Fun challenge! I had to completely redraw it because I forgot about print reversal and the original image was backwards. "S'Conset Circle" 36"x15"
