lino WIP

Have been working (slowly) on a collaborative set of lino prints with Polly, about old wives tales, superstitions, sayings, etc.
lovely Nina gave me this unusual lino. she bought it from germany. it's very tough but allows for fine detail. Next, i wanna buy some fine linocutting blades :)

i went to 'art club' at school to make use of the space and their ink rollers. my colleague showed me how to burnish correctly with a spoon. Now I see the image printed up, i think the composition needs some adjustments. back to the lino i go!

i took these photos about may/june 2010. i was spending loads of time in the printroom at uni and took 20mins out to get some photos one afternoon when it was quiet.

i was feeling very nostalgic today and had a look through some photos from uni. i cant wait until the summer! natural light and a breeze coming through the window. yes please.

Months back (here) I wrote briefly about our degree show called Viva! I've just gotten 'round to photographing the limited edition print boxset by everyone on the course. The boxset subtitle is ~Here Are A Few Of Our Favorite Things~
Above: handrawn typography by meeee, edited by Jonny Hannah, and the little thumbnails are by everyone on the course, (of course :P)
Handful of screenprints, digital prints etc in the boxset :) below is how it's all wrapped up!
