RE: My First Foray into Intaglio Printmaking
In general, I really like your design work but this has to be my favourite post of yours! First because I love the style of artwork.
Second, I love Escher. Have you ever been to the Escher museum? I came out of there with tears in my eyes.
Third, I've also been itching to look into print making for SO long now! I've read a lot about it but never actually tried anything so it's super cool to see your experiments. The Obama landscape is superb! I love discovering how so many elements around us are governed by the golden ratio so that one was a treat to see in print. I like the deconstructed version better.
Last but not the least - Britney.
Thanks so much for the support @manouche! You should definitely look into printmaking. Intaglio is unfortunately too complicated to do at home, but I’ve been looking more into printmaking with linocuts, which can be done with cheaper tools at home.
I’ve never been to the Escher museum but would love to go someday! He’s been one of my favorite artists since I was a kid.
I did a linocut workshop recently with Joelle Jolivet and it's super fun! I feel like the style is suited for children's books so it'll be interesting to see how to work with that. You should show us your experiments with it!
Ahh, you would love the Escher museum, then. On the list for 2018, maybe? ;)
