Description This is actually from a year ago. (It's been a busy, busy year!)

Looking at this print always reminds me of Tom Waits' "Black Rider," since I listened to that album most of the time while I cut this block. It's the first print I've made since college... hopefully I will be able to make more soon...

Dig it. I see how it and Tom Waits could be related...

This is really good in every aspect. It reminds me of a panel from Hellboy, or a song by Big Business.

Nice. How do you like lino compared to woodblock?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

megamoth In reply to jacksprat [2010-10-07 01:52:41 +0000 UTC]

My first and only woodblock experience was with crap wood, so I can't really say either way. I'd like to work with wood more, but lino is more readily available at the moment. So uh... I'll let you know when I am more experienced

jacksprat In reply to megamoth [2010-10-07 16:40:52 +0000 UTC]

Lino where I live is nigh impossible to find and prohibitively expensive. Wood on the other hand...expensive but no too terribl and easy to obtain. Baltic cedar I think is supposed to be the best wood for printmaking.

Good to know, I get the question a lot from customers at the art store. It has been one area where my printmaking knowledge is lacking.

jacksprat In reply to megamoth [2010-10-08 05:47:16 +0000 UTC]

Baltic birch, not baltic cedar. Knew that sounded wrong. Glad to be of assistance.

Beautiful! When I look at this some sad creepy music runs through my head. It seems like part of a story.

megamoth In reply to Gwenm [2010-10-06 04:25:24 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! That's kind of funny since I was listening to sad creepy music as I was making it. However Tom Waits is however a lot less sad and creepy than a lot of stuff we play in the studio...
