Compass of thoughts...


Here is a relief print i made as a multiblock on pine wood. I went for a super simple design that i saw on a bag, that i choose to print on a pine-wood block. This is made out of 3 blocks + handwriting with speedball ink ( not the easietst thing to write on the ruff texture of a print ) This design came out unsolid, but that is what happens when u try to print on wood. The wood absorbs alot of the ink. The message is from Buddha, and i love it. Was he a methaphysician? He said: " What we think, we become". You know he was right. Mind over matter, the law of attraction, what we think-we become...What am i trying to say? - Check your thoughts and beliefs since they are the compass of energy guiding the direction on your journey in life! Blessings to you from me. Enjoy your xmas holidays!

Etchings



.... So here is my first attempt in etching. The process is so much fun: you start by scribing out the design on a zink metal plate, then you bite it in acid, rub the ink on it, prepare the wet paper and run it through the press one time. This way u dont have to actually re-do the design if you want more of them, you dont have to draw it every time. Instead- with an etching - you have the design ready on a " template", for you to re-ink and press at anytime. This is one of the techniques of printmaking. I call these " Rastababy" ( as seen on clothing ) and " Michael" the one and only king of pop. Enjoy it people! Enjoy!
