I started a selfie today, a self portrait woodcut, using a piece of plywood. I transferred my drawing onto the wood and commenced hacking away with my Flexcut tools, they’re pretty good but plywood is quite tough and takes some effort.
I did a rubbing, with tracing paper and a graphite block, as I cut, to keep tabs on how it was progressing. Tomorrow I’ll do a first proof print to see exactly what’s going on and then finish the cutting, if necessary.

I love the concept of a wooden selfie. Can’t wait to see the result and does this count for your 100 portraits series?
We have been driven particularly dotty on our travels by people simpering, posing and taking ‘beauty shots’ in front of famous art works. Much as I love to capture a detail or picture of a favourite art work I applaud galleries such as the Prado that insist that you attempt looking at the artwork.
I’m also driven mad by idiots in galleries and elsewhere who don’t bother with what’s around them, just obsessively take selfies.
I am thinking we should start calling them ‘selfishes’ 😅
Brilliant!!!
really interesting to see the progress of the image!
I’ve done a lino selfie before, the wood is quite rough so this is more brutal
always a wonderful bit of mystery attached to print making
And so much that can go wrong lol …
