Before committing to producing a whole series, I thought it best to cut some blocks using different materials. I used wood, lino and plywood for these trial prints. Frankly, there's practically no difference in the outcomes, so I'll probably go with lino for low cost and ease of cutting.

Three more ersatz woodcuts done on iPad using the Ukiyo-e app, an invaluable proofing tool in my opinion. All part of the continuing Four Letter Words project.

11. Artist: Neil Brigham

JacketFlap tags: artists, woodcut, scratch board, Add a tag

Neil Brigham began drawing at a very young age, spurred on by his kindergarten classmates. Some years later, he put aside the finger paint and crayons while he completed a Masters of Art in illustration from Syracuse University. It was there that he really learned to scribble under the guidance of David Passalacqua and Murray Tinkleman. In addition to his illustration projects, Neil spends time making prints as a member of the Zea Mays Printmaking Studio in Florence, Massachusetts. His work has been recognized by the Society of Illustrators and Society of Illustrators Los Angeles.

I've finished the 37th and final card in the first series of The Cards of U'ut
The first print run is limited to 100 boxes, individually signed and numbered. If you want a deck of these cards you better get your skates on... I sold 5 sets today. I've designed a booklet to go in the box, but am still finalising the copy for it.

These lovely twins popped in to the gallery today, out of simple curiosity. They were bubbling over with enthusiasm for art, so I couldn't resist asking them to pose with a couple of my Cards of Wu (now available from me in a boxed set).
They are holding The Chariot and The Cloud Doctor.

The prototype full deck of 36 Cards of Uut is now available to buy direct from me.

I'm also working on a descriptive booklet to go with it. Contact me if you're interested.

Still experimenting with the woodcut effect and watercolor. This version is digital, but I will continue with the woodcut experiments and add traditional watercolor. I am really liking the effect and having a great deal of fun seeing what I can do with this technique.

23. A Very Worth Recipient!

By: DIANE SMITH, on 2/28/2011
Blog: DIANE SMITH: Illo Talk (Login to Add to MyJacketFlap)
JacketFlap tags: woodcut, erin e. stead, A Sick Day for Amos McGee, illustration, pencil, Add a tag

On this evening's trip to the bookstore, I was pleased that they finally had the recent Caldecott winner on the shelf! I have to say that A Sick Day for Amos McGee is a delightful book! It's a very sweet, sparsely worded story (in fact, a couple pages have no words at all) by Philip C. Stead. I just LOVE the illustrations by Erin E. Stead - a combination of a little color via woodcut with just enough pencil detail (and, as you may know, I love pencil detail). Most impressive is that the book jacket states that this is the first book she's illustrated.

Now, in my previous post I complained about the weakness of storyline that I found in a lot of children's books that I found on the shelves. But, that doesn't mean every story has to be an intricately developed adventure. There is definitely a place for the thoughtful or simple story. In the case of Amos McGee, the masterful gestures and quiet expression of each character speaks volumes. I think it is the power of the illustrations that can make a book of few words successful. It really got me thinking about the importance of pairing the right writer and illustrator - finding/creating the right illustrations for a particular tale.

Anyway, I had to purchase this one for my own collection - and it will be kept in a safe place until certain toddlers with crayons grow up a little.
