First proof pull of the first of three plates for my #swallowtailbutterfly print. I’ll now use this plate to transfer the image to the other two plates, ready for cutting.

Progress with the #swallowtailbutterfly linocut.
The tiny cuts on this one are crucial, giving a soft tone when viewed from a distance but then the detail reveals itself upon closer inspection. The smallest cuts are much smaller than 1mm in size and to do them took a whole day of patient cutting, with breaks to uncross my eyes and straighten my aching back!

Just finished the drawing for my opposite print to go with the #deathsheadmoth print, a Swallowtail Butterfly. It was tough tearing myself away from the drypoint etching but this is what I do! Lino & Woodcut! Perhaps I could do with some new name ideas if drypoint & etching consume me!
I might just have to embrace plain old Matt Hooper!

My new Drypoint etching, Honeybee.
This is my first etched into copper and again, much to learn! Copper is superior to all the other materials I’ve used, gives a very bold line and holds super fine lines too. This bee is perhaps 12cm from wing tip to wing tip, about 4.5 inches.

Further finessing of my Raven drypoint. I’ve totally re-etched it more boldly, deeper more angled marks to capture the ink. I’m much happier with it although I’m aware of what a messy process this is! Skrim, cloths, cotton buds and kitchen roll are blathered in ink, and it’s very enjoyable!

My good pal took some stunning photos of Robin Hood’s Bay over the last day or so and very graciously allowed me to use one of these photos to make my latest drypoint etching. Three figures walking on a snowy beach just looked so atmospheric, and it allowed me to play with ink removal and softer spaces on the plate.
This one is on an acetate plate, I didn’t think it would work so well so I’m being VERY careful printing it with the hope of achieving a print run that I might be to put on sale.
Cheers James! Check out his photos but do check out his superb printmaking!

I loved seeing the colour coordinated cows on the windy dunes of #spurnpoint this Christmas! Belted Galloway cattle and some Highland cattle thrown in too!

First proof of Giant Squid on the handmade Bhutanese paper Tsasho. It’s worked!!!! I’m really happy with this one. It’s about the same size as The Octopus, and could make a great partner to this print! 😉

The Poppyhead print with the three Magnolia wood blocks used in the printing.
The teal bloc and the black are gently abraded to lift the grain of the wood, giving a pleasing weathered look to this print, very much a trope of the #sosakuhanga movement of printmaking in post WW2 Japan.

The final three plate print of my Death’s Head Hawk Moth. The colour & shadow just add life and depth to a print, it’s worth the considerable time and effort of cutting extra plates and wrestling with rather fiendish registration!!
This print will be going into a full print run next week then will be on sale on my webshop at link in bio.
