uncategorised • print me happy {one}

things couldn’t be better. I’m back from three days spent in the loveliest place ever in company of my favourite people on earth. I took tons of great polaroid pictures. I have a new laptop. I just received a package from gerstaecker; pretty much everything I need to make my own prints.
I’ve always dreamt about printing my own designs. but as much as I’d love to, a letter press is just two expensive for me right now, and goccos are impossible to find around here.
then, I came across linoprinting. and felt happy.
I’ve drawn a couple of series I intend to print; one of those being about polaroid cameras. love them so much I don’t want to forget about them. never.
I plan to carve the lino tonight and hopefully, I’ll have some beautiful results to show you tomorrow.



Fanny,
Is the red camera one of your pieces, I like it.
I love lino and wood cut printing. I have just two pieces left from a time a few years ago that I did a bunch. They are both portraits: one of my father and one of… (don’t laugh) Jean Antheleme Brillat Savarin. I only have the lino, but I have been thinking to make a print or two. If I can get it together I’ll scan them and send you the images.
PS. don’t cut yourself
a portrait of Brillat Savarin, hmm, interesting.
as for the illustration, it a sneak-peek of a piece I quickly drew it on my laptop today. hope it turns out okay on paper!
