I recently had a bit of an earworm adventure that I thought I’d share. While working during the day, I found myself humming a little bass riff. I did not know what it was but it had this satisfying little pause just before the 4th beat. I found myself nodding…
With my previous landscape print, the artwork was revealed gradually as I printed it. In an effort to show more of my ‘pre-print’ process this time, here is mostly completed Stage 1 of my next big print project. This is a view looking east descending from the top of Blencathra.…
