First print of 2008
27 Jan 2008
After focussing on the move of Birmingham Printmakers and then the more domestic overhaul and tidying of my own workspace at home, l've finally been able to get down to some of my own printmaking.
This design is inspired by the classic Avro Vulcan aircraft of the cold war era with it's graceful and elegant delta wing design.
l was given a vinyl floor tile by Paul Hipkiss and found that it was easier to cut and achieve a finer line and of course did away with cutting against the grain and splintering.
l'm hoping to develop this design into 2 or 3 colour variations.
The images below show the vinyl block and a black print from this and a print with a green base colour.
