One of my Medea prints (http://www.lazaruscorporation.co.uk/shop/5) has found its way across the Atlantic to a wall somewhere in New Jersey :)
I quite like the frame they’ve chosen as well!

My name, text, the source URL, and image click-through URL removed from one of my new photographs on only the 2nd reblog.

Wow, I think that’s a new speed record for rudeness.

…and also I’ve been reviewing my photography from this year so far

Prints, posters, and postcards of these can be ordered from my RedBubble store.

I’ve got another photoshoot planned for later this month, and want to plan another for April.

February 6, 2013

Pleased with some of the images from yesterday’s photoshoot.

Will post a few pics later today.

OK, so this is the plan: I’ve taken an A2-sized life-drawing of mine, photographed it, and re-sized it down to A5 size on my computer, and printed it out (the print out - an A5 image on A4 paper - is what you can see in the pic above).
Tomorrow I’m going to photocopy it onto transparent photocopier acetate to produce a positive film. Then over the weekend I’m going to transfer the acetate image onto a photopolymer (solar) plate to create an intaglio printing plate. Which I’m going to ink-up and print.
It might all go horribly wrong. It might look good. We shall see…

I’m starting off 2013 positively - here’s my latest limited edition lino print. Click on the pic to see a larger version on my website.

Paper size: 11ʺ × 10ʺ approx.
Limited Edition of 24, signed and hand-numbered
Ink: Oil-based relief printing ink (Raw Umber)

Prints are available to order either through my website (via PayPal) or through my Etsy store.

I’ve just added these four Medea photographs of mine to my new RedBubble store where you can order them as large photographic prints (in sizes from 10” to 26” high) or as postcards.

A photograph of mine from February this year (click the pic for full sized image on my website, plus some background info about it).
I want to do some more photographs like this in the first few months of next year. (I also used this photograph as reference material for this solar plate print that I did earlier this month).

A photograph of mine from March this year (click the pic for full sized image on my website, plus some background info about it).
It took some considerable time to make that mask! I had to boil the bark to soften it before I could bend it around the mask base. This process stank our kitchen out for several days (it smelt like we were living in some dank primordial forest - not completely unpleasant, but…)

Again, pushing the chiaroscuro to the limit. I want to do some more photographs like this in the first few months of next year.

A Medea photograph of mine from January this year (click for full size pic on my website).
I really like pushing chiaroscuro to its limits and using just a few pieces of light to define an entire figure.

Can’t decide whether to print an edition of this lino cut of mine now, or save it for if/when my Book of the Erinyes project is ever finished.
It’s a weird size (127 × 293 mm), but I’m fairly pleased with it.
