skulls!!

i did this when i was mucking around with my entry for the International Skull Drawing Comp. i like this better than the original entry but they had to be black and white and A4... The skulls can be seen at Rise and Fall from April 30 onwards...

first post o' 2008

This is my first work for class time of 2008. i made other things over the holidays, but most of them were for gifts or for selling. i should really have taken photos before i sent them off into the world. This is actually the digitally manipulated version of a small ink/watercolour/collage work that is still in progress. Am currently thinking i will make a drypoint copy of the image also. I'll post it if i do!

Dancers and Toxic Plants

Here are some digi versions of a hand coloured print it did. The scanner couldn't fit the whole image in, it is more of a square shape. This print is itself another version of the watercolour in the previous posts, when i find a composition that i like i tend to explore it in a number of different ways. The original is currently part of a group exhibition of printmaking at the Post Office Gallery in Sturt Street, Ballarat.

layers baby, layers!

further exploration of watercolours, actually using proper paper this time! am still exploring the idea of layering, especially layering of mediums. this piece includes photocopy release, collage, chinagraph pencil, ink and watercolour.

dancers and bees

latest sketch using layering of ink and watercolour to mask out an old drawing that i thought was rubbish!

digital printmaking

so these are some of my pieces that combine traditional printmaking with digital prints. i'm not sure which folio to submit them to, my printmaking one or my drawing and digital one. so in case they end up in the printmaking one, here they are !

knight at the door

This is an alternative version of the piece i submitted for the "Pushing Pixels" artists book. I used a scan of my collograph plate, which I think is better looking than the prints it made. i also used a scanned image of my knight drypoint plate, so the whole piece is a digital amalgamation of various printmaking techniques.
