Goffstown Stream Print

I've been working on this print for a month or so, in between other projects, the holidays, and my day job. I had done a smaller image of this same stream in black and white last year, but I wanted to do a larger one with more layers. This is a reduction block print, using only one easy cut block.


Transferring the image from tracing paper onto the block by placing the pencil sketch face down and rubbing the back with a wooden spoon.

Cutting out more areas of the block


  This is the the third color, after layers of blue gray and light gray. I plan on adding one more dark color to complete the print.

Illustration Friday "Internet"

A quick sketch for Illustration Friday, "internet"

I admit, I often catch myself overly plugged-in with multiple devices!
