ART ON THE STREET – This Weekend, June 23 ’18
1
An explanation of the process.
At last night’s show I tried to explain how the plates were printed and used. I didn’t have any sample bits there to make it easy to explain so I’m posting these pics which, hopefully, explain it all.
The bulk of my engraving is done with ‘V’ shaped knives like the one shown but on these plates I used a drimmel in order to get more organic looking shapes. The inset pic shows how everything BUT the image is cut away.
The progressive sheet shows how a three colour print comes together.
….and the winner is:
Great to have my print ‘Snug’ picked for the juried show ‘Insights‘ and great to have it chosen for the ‘Richard Pilon Works on Paper’ award. If you’re near the Wellington County Museum be sure to visit the show.
INSIGHTS- Juried Exhibition
Always a great show! Tough competition, 61 Pieces selected from 288 very good entries, my engraving, ‘SNUG’, being one of the chosen.
The opening is this Wednesday, June 13 from 7:00 til 9:00.
This Month in Grimsby, Ontario!
This is a great show if you’re interested in letterpress printing and the related arts. If you make it, be sure to drop by our booth.
TAROT LOVERS
This was my entry into the Tarot Lovers show, a (somewhat cynical :- ) three colour engraving.
TAROT LOVER’S EXHIBITION
If you’re in da ‘hood, make sure you visit this great exhibition to see how over fifty artists of all media treat the common theme of the tarot card ‘The Lovers.’
The show runs until May 27th.
