Just a little update for everyone. Made lots of decisions on this one over the last few evenings. Its too weird of a size to show the whole thing but I'm happy with the progress so far. #art #artofig #artrise #woodcut #woodblock #printmaking #prints

Bought a lawn roller today. Yes a lawn roller. Filled with 400lbs of water. Cheap and HUGE rigged press. Definitely does the trick. Much better than slaving away. This one is fresh from under the tank. #print #bird #printmaking #woodcut #prints #wren #art #artofig #artrise #proud

Trying something different. Good news is if I end up not liking it I think I can cut it all out. Good morning!!! #artrise #artofig #printmaking #woodcut #prints #print

Working on bringing this one to life while the first one is recovering from its first set of proofs. This one is much bigger the piece of wood is 24x 48". It's a little tufted titmouse. #worknights #artrise #artofig #woodcut #prints #printmaking

Had to do a quick proof before I got too creative with the prints. Gonna lay down some color on the paper before printing the real edition. #printclub #prints #print #woodcut #printmaking #artofig #artrise #wren

Bad lighting but the carving is done! Ready to make prints but have a few steps I need to do tonight before hand. Maybe tomorrow! #woodcut #wren #printmaking #artrise #artofig #printclub #print

For the sake of prints - background had to go. Hope you don't mind the constant daily updates #WIP #artofig #artrise #print #printmaking #woodcut #wren

Better angle at the woodcut to show the effect I was going for. #woodcut #printmaking #artrise

#WIP added depth to the bird with some deeper cuts, started on te branch, did a really light inking on the bottom and sides to get an idea of what the print would look like. Still please. For now. Happy Monday. #art #printmaking #woodcut #artrise #printclub #print
