Planning....

 

Working on a design for my next lino carving.  I want something retro 1950s / 1960s science fiction cheap paperback cover-ish.

Normally I rarely sketch ideas for my work - I have come to depend primarily on process to shape the result, but lino is far less forgiving than most mediums.

Lino print...

 

4x6 inches on printing paper using Blick block ink.  Carved from a Speedball Speedy-Cut block.  This is my first attempt in decades and I had some issues, but enjoyed the process.

Baby Zoomers...........

 

I have no idea where they came from or where they're going...but by George, they ARE here!

Raku-fired stoneware.   3.5-inches x 3.5-inches x various.

Farewell You Crazy Diamond.....

Calligraphy (Callie) Jones.  2018(?) - 14 May 2026.  She came into my life in August 2020 and moved in a year later on Christmas Day.  We had a good run, kid, but it wasn't nearly long enough.  See you on the dark side of the moon.

Baby Zoomers Arrive!

 In progress.  Stoneware clay.  Roughly 3.5-inches x 3.5-inches x various.
