To continue on with my work here are a few snaps from my woodblock of "Bertie"
In total I used 4 blocks to create a 5 colour piece
I used my digital image and transferred it to the woodblock with acetone
Quick and easy
First the key block - this was just printed first as a test to make sure it was clean I will put this block in the press last
The suit - this block consisted of one colour only. Blue was to show royalty, intellect and honesty
Pigs don't wear suits so it is all a contradiction really isn't it.
The green and gold - these two colours were on the one block which helped me time wise from cutting another block. Needed to bring some Irish to the piece
The pink - this block again one colour, the pink face we all recognise and associate with the humble pig
Adding the key block
The result of four woodblocks used to make one image - technique known as multi-block
The image however is still not complete. I've an itchy feeling that can be cured with some spray paint
