Local mackerel final cut

I admire your work ,you are expert at your craft , I enjoyed looking ,thanks

That's very kind Alan, thank you. Will post the printed stages of this later ;)

Really good to see the drawing, and then this stage; looking forward to seeing the print - I wish I had the time, money and space to try linocuts again, but I'd labour long and hard to get anywhere near this standard.

Hi Robert, thanks for your comments, as ever. Yes, time, money and space are certainly an issue. I have a full time job and normally do my fine art stuff between the hours of 9pm and 1am! But where there's a will... And actually, the tools and material are pretty cheap, an A4 piece of lino is around a fiver and a cutter and blades around the same, so if you do it without having to buy a press, it's not an expensive art. (Many people hand-press their prints but I have recently invested paintings sales money back into my first small, roller press). Oh, and do look out very soon today for the print I made of this last night (or was it this morning?) Cheers! ;)
