"Tilt," 4" x 4", woodcut, 2009.  Edition of 8, printed on Mulberry paper.




I actually finished this guy a month or more ago, the first print I managed to get done this fall.  At the time, I was struggling mightily to get anything done, fighting off a cold, and generally being in a pissy mood.  The joy of woodcuts is that you can sometimes finish them very, very quickly, which can be the cure when you're mired artistically.  It's just getting that first one out of the way that matters, and after that things will begin to flow more normally.  That was certainly the case here, as the time I've spent working (seemingly without anything to show for it) is starting to pay off.  I editioned my fourth print of the fall yesterday, and I'll have a scan of that next week after I've flattened the prints.
