new Otto linocut print

hello. i've just done a new linocut of my cat Otto, in his usual daytime occupation. it is a 2-colour linocut, and my first real attempt at two colours/plates. I'm pretty happy with the result (even if i say so myself!). tricky, but worth it...i've printed an edition of 100 of it...


its now in my folksy shop, and will also be available to buy at the forthcoming fairs i'm attending.


cheers!

Linocut Workshop, Saturday 5th Feb 2011

A happy new year to you all!


I'm running a linocut workshop on Saturday 5th February 2011 in Sheffield, at Eccleshall Library. It had been arranged through Craft Candy, the sheffield craft collective that i'm part of, and you can book a place on it through their website:


www.craft-candy.org/workshops/details/lino-printing-workshop


On the day you'll learn how to create a linocut printing plate, and how to make a print. You'll just need to bring along an image to base your design on (ideally a tracing of it too), some old clothes (printing gets messy sometimes) and a pencil!


There's more info on the website. Maybe see some of you there..


cheers


James
