Description
I missed linocut. It's been a while I wanted to print again and to try something more challenging. And my messy composition about Nirvana's track "Tourette's" is perfect for that (check Type Song 33 here [link] ).But first I had to find a way to transfer it to my plate, as I want this linocut to be more precise. So I followed a slow but accurate way using laser copy and pastel varnish by Frank Haili, a french engraver making awesome stuff (check it [link] ).
And then... let's go. The lino plate size is 40 x 60 cm. I've spend 4 hours on it for the moment, and I don't know when I'll be able to print it. Maybe for Xmas ?

Wow.

Well I'm fond of these quiet times when you can clear your head and forget about your little selfish troubles while listening music, it's kinda therapeutic. You're right.
And the good thing is that I have to plan many carving sessions to achieve this one.

It's not that hard, it requires patience.
But well, it's hard for my painful back.

oh wow, i can't wait to see this finished!
that's an interesting way to transfer an image. so you just rub the back of a laser copy until it transfers to the block?

Yeah that's it. But it's a long process, as it must dry for 4 hours at least, and then "crumble" the paper with the fingertip (it's quicker with a sponge as well but really carefully).
Have you a transfer process or do you draw on your plate directly ? I'm fond of your prints btw.

thank you! i usually draw directly or do a loose transfer of a drawing using carbon or graphite paper. i'm going to have to try this method though since i want to start doing more color plates and having accurate transfers would be very helpful.
