Here is some more of what has been going on

So it has been a while since I have posted anything so here is a whole heap of stuff that I have been up to. Woodcuts, prints and thrown together sculptures are the order of the day.

The organic process of cutting a woodblock. I'm in a bit of a transition with a move away from ultra detail to bolder more expensive cuts. I may not be able to carve my own wooden mask , but I have the skills with my chisels and jigsaw to carve a wood block mask ready for printing. #folkart #mask #woodcut #posca #printing #printmaking #primative #art

This is who I have been drawing up during grabbed moments. He still needs a bit of fine tuning. What I am enjoying is drawing straight on to the woodblock, I have a rough idea of what I want but this process makes the creation more organic. #sketch #art #woodcut #woodblock #printing #brushpen #mask #folkart

Along with my other projects I have been quietly hacking away at this fellow. I will have to start thinking about printing at some point. #art #brushpen #woodcut #woodblock #printing #primative #folkart #mask

In the studio today, started working on these two new friends. #fetish #art #sculpture #folkart #driftwood #studio

So I have a print to give to a friend and like I normally do I did a drawing on the back of the envelope. Unfortunately my friend will not see this envelope as I like the drawing too much. #art #envelope #mask #folkart#brushpen

This woodcuts journey has been quite an interesting one with plenty of changes along the way. #woodcut #art #prints #blackink #brushpen #mask #

IT is amazing what can be seen in wood offcuts. Should I leave them as is or carve in to them? #woodcut #offcut #art #outsiderart

From this to this. I should have taken a photo of the original drawing. Any way I really enjoyed cutting this, it was at times a process of make it up as you go along #printing #folkart #outsiderart #woodcut #masks #mask #art #brushpen

Bosh all cut out. Working title the face of horror. The question is should I do more woodcuts like this ? It should be interesting to see how this prints. #blackink #masks #woodcut #art #brushpen #outsiderart #folkart #printing
