O, the magic of the forest! The final "LOG" prints are delicate & lovely, with colors harmonious and peaceful, yet blazing and alive! The print has an otherworldly glow, radiating a life pulse in its careful combination of wild patterns & electric pastels. So happy that this image has finally made its way into being!
The cheerfully colored print is a rumination on the cycle of life. The "LOG" supports an intricate and beautiful fern and fungal ikebana, all growing from the decay of the severed tree limb. The fleeting beauty of the smaller growing organisms is fed by the death of the sturdier tree.
Limited edition prints are HERE!
In production on the "LOG" woodcut print this week, we'll start shipping orders out from Pittsburgh on May 8th! Local pick-up available at our new woodcut showroom! Here, printing the first block, yellow!
Introducing the new "LOG" woodcut in vivid, wild, glowing color! Printing is going so smooth & the print itself is looking so dreamy. Delightful!
4 woodblocks make "LOG", each an impressed layer of woodgrain color. (See all of the blocks here.)
Printed on 16" x 20" Natural Kitakata Paper. Edition of 100.
In joy, we're extending the earlybird intro rate until Monday (4/26)! Last chance for "LOG" special!
The final piece of the "LOG" woodcut puzzle--the yellow block! 4 blocks together make the final artwork. More about that & all the blocks (and first proof!) here.
Just updated the "LOG" page on our site with all of the finished color block carvings! Stay tuned for a color proof in the coming days, hoping to have a copy to show by Friday's newsletter. Join up at tugboatprintshop.com to be the first to see the color print!
More "LOG" updates! Drawing on 2 transfers here, from the key block & the blue block. Carving now begins! Expecting to be mixing ink to proof by early next week!
This block will create blues, greens, browns & purples. Each block prints one color, layers of ink building with every impression. "LOG" will be a colorful & lush woodcut world in miniature!
The paper was a bit small, but it's neat to see how the image is shaping up! Once this key block is carved in full, we'll be moving on to making color blocks. Excited to add patterns and shape beyond the key in the colors! Special limited time pre-order is up on our site HERE.
Mushrooms & ferns & and all sorts of smallish forest-y things being carved! "LOG" is now available for special limited time pre-order HERE.
"WOODEN CHAIRS" & "FROND", a nice autumn pairing of woodsy woodcuts on Natural Kitakata paper.
