Cleaning, inking and printing this weekends kitchen lithography print, when I finally got to one that worked! Good job the failed plates can be cleaned and recycled π

Apple blossom reduction linocut print. Caustic etching followed by carving. Suns out, spring is here, we are good to go for another year π

Kitchen lithography layers 1 and 2. Layers 3 and 4 in my head waiting to be realisedβ¦

The primroses were replaced with gorse, it felt more appropriate, the more I worked on this the more it made me think of Exmoor, the Brendan Hills and the Quantocks.

A drawing of Exmoor ponies in snowy fields under a full moon and the linocut block the drawing has been transferred to ready for carving.
The next full moon linocut print for the snow moon is in the planning stages. Im still not completely convinced I know whatβs happening but will see where it goesβ¦

A handmade print of the ruins of the stone building at Foggington Quarry on top of a hill on Dartmoor. Despite it being a summer day the clouds are dark and moody, casting deep shadows on the ground, while the grassland is bright green from the sunlight breaking through the clouds. A line of dry stone wall crosses the image from left to right, following the curve of the land before running up the hill towards the ruin.
Sitting in a toasty warm bed with the dog on my lap going through photos looking for something to post. This lithino linocut combo was based on a summer scene from Dartmoor this year. Trying to imagine what it would be like there right now in Storm Bert, exciting I reckon but not so warmβ¦
