NIGHT OF THE LIVING DREDD - World Book Night 2013
We were invited to host some activities for World Book Night at Chapel Arts Studios in Andover. I took this as an opportunity to refine the Lino Printing Workshop I had done there that summer which had made me realise that it was better to have a more cohesive framework to operate in. I decided to test out the idea of a collaborative lino cut where a larger image was cut down into seperate pieces allowing the participants to cut a section of the image that would then be put back together and printed, with the various styles of cutting collaged together.
As the giveaway at World Book Night was of the Judge Dredd comic volume 'The Dark Judges' I decided to go with Judge Dredd as the image. the image was cut in a style that suggested the window panels in the comic.
The final Edition of six was given to contributors of the lino cut, along with one being given to Carlos Ezquerra, one of the original co-creators of Judge Dredd.
