We are in the midst of tackling the color for the "DESERT ISLAND" woodcut now, experimenting with layers & layers of pastel color combinations. Deciding what we want the color to lend to the linework we've been developing in the blocks is a big task!
Anyway, at 20" x 35", the "DESERT ISLAND" print is really quite large. We are reminded of this every time we heave-ho the blocks onto the press bed (there are 3 total, one's not pictured here) and register the long scroll-like sheets of paper. The edition will be small in the end, like 50 prints. We're leaving the pre-order up until we get that first proof photographed. Then the price will probably nearly double.
What to expect? Paradise color!
