Subject: Print Week NY 2010 - Lighthouse Fair
Posted by: Annie B
Back to some reporting on my visit to NY Print Week. This year marked the first "Fine Print and Drawing Fair at Lighthouse International," an event that I had some trouble finding out about. I was first tipped off by a mention from a friend, but when I googled "Lighthouse print fair" the actual web site for the event didn't come up until page three. (The SEO problems seem to be partly because the event doesn't have its own URL and partly because the information is a jpeg of the announcement rather than html code that would allow search engines to pick up the words.) This fair is apparently a breakaway from the IFPDA group, as you can read here on the Annex Galleries web site.
First was my all-time favorite exhibitor, Davidson Galleries of Seattle. It was nice to see an etching by Hibiki Miyazaki (right), whose work I know only from online. I spent a long time at the Annex Galleries' booth poring over their huge collection of color woodcuts spanning many years and many artists.

Subject: Transfering Cartoon -- Christmas 2010
Posted by: Ellen Shipley
Transfering the cartoon to the blocks today. I'm tracing the same image on both blocks, even tho I won't be carving the same elements on both. Partly for alignment and partly because I'm obsessvie/compulsive about it. ;- j Here's the process. I carved a couple of kento-like notches in the cartoon to aid in placement. Here's where I've chalked the back of the cartoon so I can trace it onto the blocks. Normally I use a pink or yellow chalk, which works really great with black dyed boards. But I had to switch to black chalk for it to show up on the stained boards. I just have to remember which system I'm using and stick with it. I like to carve details like the stonework or the antlers freehand as I go. There has to be some surprise in the piece to keep it lively. |

Subject: Illustration Friday: Burning
Posted by: Phare-Camp
This weeks illustration challenge for Illustration Friday is Burning. I think the above artwork is a fine illustration of the theme! This work was one of 4 woodcut images printed atop digital printouts that were then tipped into editioned books. The accompanying book text for this image is ""How About a Little Fire Scarecrow!" ~Wicked Witch of the West" |
