I guarantee that whenever I cut a block – lino, wood or vinyl – I will stab myself with one of my sharp tools and bleed on it! I blooded this block today, just as I was finishing carving it as well. I based this on an original drawing I did from life. I haveContinue reading “Blooded!”

Grym : Power.
The rough hewn cut-marks gouged into the lino form cloisons that enclose shiny jewels of metallic watercolours.
