Started to get back in to the printmaking, being messing around with colour and relief printing (which I not done awhile) over my intaglio prints, and its all going pretty good. I've be really open with these prints, any idea on how to print the same plate differently I’ve tried and its all come off well; for example I printed the back of my plate and it worked, I got a very noiry, abstract print. So ill post couple of better print here with a little description.

The above printing was the most successful out of the lot. I just went mad with the yellow and black, always a good combination; but i need to put more thought into what colours I should introduce in my prints; but these prints are just try outs really. Anyway this print was put though the press 4 times I think. Two intaglio prints that got a good clean black line/ out line of the image. Then two prints relief prints, sort of colouring the image in. First I printed a messy thin layer of yellow over the intaglio prints, then I cut the plate down a lot and added more detail with another black relief print. So THERE A LOT OF SCRUFFY MARKS AND DETAIL IN THERE

"Fireforks Night"




Bonfire night the other night awesome time of year brought some cool rockets and took a few good photographs; I really like the one with Trudy and Oliver together by the window, Steven Spielberg comes to mind with that one. Having a decent camera is brilliant; with my old digital one I could never get these shots.

Sonic Ink



Started filming some footage FOR MY SHORT FILM WHICH I'M GONNa call SoNIC iNK (awesome)
Why sonic Ink? well because Sonic means sound the soundtrack or score I’m hoping is going to hold this film together, BY sort of being the narrative of the film ( there is no narrative) so the score is going to get the film from the start TO THE MIDDLE THEN TO THE END. Also personally its the part I’m most excited about. Dicking about on the guitar with a few effects pedals and a lot of volume is something i really enjoy, so doing that, editing it down and putting it to go use is gonna be awesome, a first proper PUS recording. Just need some where to record it.
So the images are stills from some footage i shot, using the old torch trick i mastered from my previous short film ( history of the 20th century). Its a bit of a old idea now and doesn't work so well with my prints, so i need something new and i got a few ideas, so towards the end of this project i’m gonna set a week aside for this film. Its the main focus of this project now.
