Twisted Pine

 I have neglected my black and white prints for the last year, while I concentrated on larger scale multi colour work (which I plan on posting - sometime!).

But the lure of black and white has brought me back to one of my favourite subjects - pine trees. Available here.

Last summer at the Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition I saw this wonderful pattern on a black and white dress.  The woman wearing the dress told me it was from Brazil and let me take a photo of the pattern so that I could make this print.  Available here.

Block 232 - Full Frontal

I recently completed this large linocut print of the facade of an apartment block in Singapore.  The repetition of the windows is almost dizzying, but if you look closely the facade is not symmetrical.  How strange for a building of a slightly older vintage.  Available here.

I will also be showing this print at the Toronto Artist Project in February 2015.

The print is based on a photograph by Horst Kiechle.  He is a Flickr contact and over the past year or two I have made a number of prints based on his photography of Singapore architecture.

In Progress .......

In late August I worked on a private commission.  The client purchased five tree images for their holiday card.  I retained the rights to use the blocks in my own prints.  One of the blocks that I cut was not used.  It was replaced with a similar, but wider tree.  I am now printing an edition using these two blocks. Two colours down and two or three to go.  It will be ready for the One of a Kind Show in November.
