mountain goats Night Light sticker design in progress… I’m considering making a version that replaces the goat with Mae from NITW for the ultimate me-coded crossover design

#the mountain goats #transcendental youth #hbd to the album of all time. cry for Judas forever baby #tmg #John darnielle

posting this one on here and nowhere else because it’s a work in progress print for my family :^) based off of the poem The Orange by Wendy Cope

#i think it could be close to done but im probably going to keep experimenting for a while cause its fun #printmaking #relief print #linoprint #block print #Wendy cope

I’m walking out of here in one piece / Don’t care what comes after / Drive the wedge / Torch the bridge / I don’t wanna die in here

it just occurred to me that i should add a pic of the finished print! as always, there are some things I want to work on (over-inking, under-inking, poor alignment, etc) but progress is progress and I’ll celebrate that. 🐶

went to the MFA and studied Evening (The Fall of Day) by William Rimmer, 1869. Text is lifted from the museum label describing the work. It’s been a very long time since I did an exercise like this, so I’m pretty happy with the result. It was a great day to draw - I found this piece in a room that was mostly very quiet, just a few people wandering in here and there.

WINTER. Working on a little series of these for the seasons. I think going back and forth between these simpler pieces and the more complicated ones is a good way to satisfy my brain when I’m feeling impatient.

#linoprint #block print #linocut #relief print #printmaking #blah blah blah #I still need to be better about transferring my designs neatly and staining the block etc etc I am SO impatient #and need to buy more printer ink :(

WORDS OF AFFIRMATION. i started this block ages ago - like ages ages ages ago - and i finally decided to do a test print on some sketchbook paper because I just couldn’t picture what it was going to look like. I’m not 100% happy with it but I do love the red. Needs a lil more work. Almost something tho.

WORDS OF AFFIRMATION. I touched up the carving a little and spent some time wrestling with these last night. I really do love how they turned out, especially from a distance. it’s weird how you can make things that speak to what you’re going through before you even realize it.

SIBLING RIVALRY. You always got me on the hook / And you didn’t even notice / Stuck in the old neighborhood / Just running through the motions

micron pen delight on a rainy day

#sketchbook #pen and ink #plant art #plant drawing #started with my regular writing pen which is like a pilot g7 or something #and then remembered I brought microns and did most of the rest of the page in a .35 #a pleasant challenge trying to capture the detail of grasses and bushes and moss and everything connected

visions from Maine
