Experiments with face, structure and colour

New 'Lady Kangaroo'

I love Sundays! This day is my atelier day.  My baby boy is not going to creche so Sunday is for me the only day I can live the house to work there. My partner is building a beautiful etching press for me at home but we still need some parts and Atelier is the only possibility to make some prints of my linocuts at this moment. Just yesterday I've started to work on a new Lady Kangaroo. I like the color of the first layer. Still thinking about the final title of my work LK-Lost ID? I think this would be perfect.

Urban Eve

I am working on a new image. The work title is Urban Eve. Did you ever thought what would tempt the biblical Eve if she would live in the contemporary world? What would replace the apple? Would it be a funky designer label or maybe some shocking sexual behavior or illicit drugs? The days in the towns and cities are filled with temptation of consumption. It became so normal that we even don't think that we  were tempted by the full advertising and glamor shopping centers, which we can refer to the biblical snake. Aren't we all the Eve's of our times? We cannot even say that we are unaware of the consequences of our decisions. As in the case of the biblical sin, so our actions will have consequences for future generations who will come to live on the devastated planet. 

The blackird's family FIRST LAYER

There is not much time left to the birth of my first child.  If the delivery will be on time there is only 19 days left. I've just started to make a linocut birth card. Well the task is quite heavy if we consider my advanced pregnancy. But I  promised to take it easy and I will make just as much as I can. I was thinking for a long time about the project. Of course, I wanted to make something very, very special and original, but as they say 'everything in the art has already been.' I've decided to make it simple, readable, joyful and what is very important- close to our hearts. One of the very early mornings I couldn't sleep I was listening to the birds outside and there I've heard the one very recognizable voice of my partner's favorite birds THE BLACKBIRD.  It was my first inspiration of the project for the card.  My design image shows a family blackbirds in a tree. The one of the adult birds is the mammy and she is feeding the little one which is sitting in the nest. The second one daddy is singing out the name of the baby. Well, we still don't know the name of the baby and we didn't want to know sex of the baby as well. So we have to wait with the pressing the name on the card ;-)

Weekend at the studio

There is anything nicer than spent the weekend in the favorite way. Especially if the weather isn't so optimistic. I can always use spring colors than! Here under some examples of my weekend activities :)

And outside the studio cold and snowy...

Something new

I've started a new own project. Soon I'm gonna tell something more about it. For now I'm just showing the nice colors of the first picture. PINK-RED-...? PURPLE? The third layer is still at the run time

New work tomorrow will be finished!
