Woodcuts - my favorite medium these days

10/30/2015

I have been doing a lot of woodcut lately because I don't need a lot of space to create them. The process starts: 1. taking many photos in the city 
2. editing my favourite photos and using them to create more complicated, realistic compositions. 
3. Then I draw the image on the board with reference to what I created on the computer
4. carve. carve. carve. I make drawing decisions while I draw as well

You can't add back what you have already carved out of the wood so it is important to do a one or two proofs before maki`eeded. Usually needed. Here is an example of pre and post proof.

Post-proof with new cutting. Can you see the many improvements?

Now back to the printshop to see if the cuts are actually an improvement or all is destroyed.
