Just practicing with my brush tip marker…a very serious looking black moor.

hey did I tell you guys that my brother and I started up our sketch blog Sketchy Company again? I’m Railtracer on there. Expect art (mostly drawings) every week based on a randomly selected theme. My brother’s art is worth looking at too, so feel free to follow!
that’s me^^^ follow my brother and my sketch project blog!
“Sunflowers”
8x8”
edition of 10
silkscreen
“Sunflowers”
screen print
8x8”
“Pangur Ban on Catnip” or “Cat on Crack”
Monoprint (or just a print I was messing around with lol)
AH. My second screen print. (The first was really just a test to get the process down.) And I’m still getting a hang of the process, but I do like how these prints came out.
Better pictures to come soon after I trim off the registration marks!
“Pangur Ban”
8”x8”
Screen print
I know I haven’t posted much in the past month, but no worries, I’m still alive. Class work and life kicked my ass for a good few weeks there, but I’m back. Hopefully I can take pictures of the work I’ve been doing, as least WIP shots.
Also, IDK how I feel about screen printing. I think I enjoyed relief and intaglio because the process of making the matrix is kind of 3-d, which is fun for me. But I’m not really feeling the process of preparing the screen, although the actual printing is fun and I think I can get cool results with this process. So we’ll see, maybe I’ll start to like it more as we get into more complicated projects.
“Grapefruit”
8x8” black ink on Masa
linoleum
So I did some at home printmaking for the first time…here’s my set up.
What tools do you use for woodcuts? I only have 2, a V and U gouge and I’m looking to get a whole set. What brand do you use/recommend? Anything I should stay away from?
I’m having a bit of trouble finding information online. I’m also looking for something in the more affordable range…not too much over 50-60 dollars. Maaaaybe 70.
If anyone has any advice, please let me know! :)
