Description
This is the most insane, ambitious and professional looking print I think I have ever done. It is 24inchesx36inches and 3 color reduction. I am still trying to explore zen in my work and I think this print does this as well but maybe in a different direction than my 5-points one. I am feeling inarticulate about it right now.This print is now available on etsy!

You're welcome!
Ah, I see. I'd like to learn to try my hand at techniques like these someday.

Stunning work. Although not familiar with the reduction process or the zen aesthetic, this is a beautiful piece. Made even more so because there are folks like you who still endeavor to utilize older techniques vs. using a DSLR. Nothing wrong with that, but things get lost in the march of progress unless folks keep them current.

I really love the lighting and the stripes of shadow on the snow; it looks so real and shiny and soft. The trees are gorgeous as well.

This print was kind of a break through for me. I finally got to that point where I can make an image look the way I want it to. Trees... took a million years.

It's pretty sweet in person. Thank goodness I can roll it up in a tube and take it around. I think I will wear a specific and unique hat so you can spot me at SGC.

I start using light weight paper too so that I can roll them up
and don't get a crazy hat lol I'm sure I can spot you or you can spot me faster maybe
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Not crazy. I'll just wear my favorite hat. It's a dark red cap. I think you are forgetting how many people are going to be there and we are both stuck to our tables for round 3. But if I can spot you before then I bet we could even share a table.
A roll of paper is way more manageable than freaking portfolios.

Woah. This is perfect!
I thought this was a drawing when I saw it o_o
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
What a sweet compliment! It was a drawing for a while on my block until I attacked it with carving tools.
The picture doesn't do a good job of giving you a sense of how big it is. Thing takes up a whole freaking wall.

wow.
Must have been pretty hard to press with it at that size 0_o
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
If I had to spoon it, then yes. But fortunately I had a press big enough for my block. (wonders of college) The only thing complicated by size was general floppiness of the paper.

Wow, as someone who has done lino's, this is beyond impressive.
It's so light, it looks almost like watercolors!!!

For me this was a real breakthrough. That I could make something verging on photographic. Just take it one inch at a time.
Thank you for your comment.
