This is another conceptual drawing; well, I claim it as a drawing because I like the marks. It's the rag I used to skim the side of the wood engraving block I was printing -- successfully -- today. Each mark is a skim.
Forgive my brevity, I'm absolutely shagged. I printed about 300 pages today in total, including the bloody test prints and crap ones. I've been on my feet all day, and I see out the window that there is some refreshingly light rain to ride my bicycle home in.
Hooray!

When less shagged, very very curious as to how you got around the pressure issue on the flatbed with the woodblock...
& you gotta love Canberrians - rain & bicycling for them is a joyous thing - for Sydneysiders it is a certain brush with one's mortality. Or a taxi ride home.
I like the Rorschact(?sp?)-ness of that Draw-Mo. I reckon I can see a Calvin-esque figure in it (as in Calvin and Hobbes)....
M/C, I knew instantly which Calvin you meant. Bumblebee is reading my collection of C&H as I type.
I see a weird Ronald Reagan cartoon portrait with only one eye...
B, it's a delicate balance between press bed height, roller height and paper thickness. It's an infuriating process until you hit the sweet spot...
