Woodcuts!

Me and a few buddies are all in the same printmaking class so we decided to get together and carve last night. Our first assignment is a woodcut hence the wood chips everywhere.

I decided to base my wood cut off of a sketch I had in my Moleskine of an owl. I wanted it to be a bit different than the other woodcuts so I opted to put the owl inside an oval frame. Below are some images of the drawing along with the beginnings of the carving. I'm also working on an illustration as a favour for a friend who hosted me in Miami for a week. I'll get some images of that up soon. So here you go!




Printmaking pain!
