We posted this photo on our Flickr over the weekend, and it went bonkers! That is, folks seemed to really enjoy it. And this made us very happy!
Shown are the two hand-drawn, hand-carved blocks for the "TREE SWING" woodcut and, above those, the state proofs. Two colors printed to make the finished image (top right). Get yours while they last, here!
Happy to welcome a new print to the shop today, the charmingly curio sized "TREE SWING" woodcut! Printed from 2 blocks onto Natural Japanese Kitakata Paper. Final size is an adorably petitie 6" x 5.75".
Blending dusty rose & weathered brown, "TREE SWING" imagines a favorite place, a meet-up spot, a carefree zone. A special little somewhere thoughts can swoosh in & out with the breeze. Edition of 100, now available HERE!
The fun little "TREE SWING" print will be joining our online woodcut shop this week! Join up to our mailing list for more release details as the end of the week nears and printing wraps up!
The "DESERT ISLAND" color blocks continue to progress (updates really, really soon!), and alongside those big blocks we've been handing back & forth some other stuff (woodblocks) too!
As you may know, Tugboat Printshop is just the two of us, husband and wife, Paul and Valerie, collaborating to make artwork, usually woodcut prints. Every aspect of the making of our prints is done, start to finish, by the two of us working together. We work on many blocks at a time, handing everything back and forth lots of times. Projects are always happening simultaneously.
In any event, we guess we're trying to let you know that there is a whole lot to anticipate here at Tugboat Printshop this Fall! We've been working like crazy and there is lots of new, lots to come! You should really stay tuned.
For the present, here's a peek at the tiniest of the batch of blocks we have in the works, a wee little image that we will probably be titled "TREE SWING". Coming soon to OUR SHOP!
Started over the weekend, now carved and ready to head to the press! Stay tuned, it's coming soon to tugboatprintshop.com!
