Description
+"pΓ‘jaro de mal agΓΌero" - "ill omen bird" is my largest woodcut to date (27 1/2 x 21 1/2 inches) and i am really happy with the way it turned out... which just opens the way to bigger and better ideas... i'm thinking panoramic... 6ft. blocks printed on canvas... maybe.the distortion is caused by the photo's angle.
see the wip's for this block in my scraps
woodcut printed on Fabriano Rosaspina paper, limited-edition prints available for sale.
although a natural evolution from the subjects my latest prints dealt with, i feel this piece is heavily inspired on the work and personality of my friend ~katharien , who left DA and adds to the sad list of great and gone deviants.
you can find his work here and (hopefully very soon) here .+

Most unusual and accomplished wood cut. I have none so far and must favour this. Donate llama to ~HuntedCity for favouring it first and showing it to me.

Muy bueno, me recuerda a ciertos seres de la Serie La Torre Oscura (The Black Tower) de stephen king.
Aunque para ser xilografia, es espectacular el resultado... menudo curro!

Really amazing work. Beautiful design and tight inking. Great details and contrast. I really like the bizarre combination of a human body and a bird's head. Incredible work. It's just a shame that you can't scan it in properly. Or atleast that's my conclusion since you took a photo of it.

It has been found from the word of the week : "BIRD/s "

+ i had this at an exhibition and i was surprised when some people described it as "satanic". there must be something if folks keep on saying it o__O +

hmm, no it's not satanic, i didn't mean "devil" in that reguard, the devil, to me, is a master of illusion and temptation...much like modern day politicians

+ that's what i meant, more like a charlatan or a false prophet... which is the purpose of the vignette underneath

i love the bold graphic qualitiy that you can get from a woodcut and this print is a good example.
i love the very surreal and expressive stare the bird gives
great print.

i looked through your gallery and this piece just stood out to me. I love the old woodblock feel to it. I also love the sense of imagry, it's reminescent of rennisance paintings, just so much to look at and absorb, from the position of the knife to the gesture of the hands and the little inset picture at the bottom... it's just great.

+thank you very much, it was done taking into account some traditional iconographic rules. the vignette at the bottom is -almost- reproduced from an old prayer book's illustration.
good having you around.+

hm. I like this more every time I look at it. I'm finding myself fixated on the heart in the corner. I've always been weirdly fascinated by the symbol of the sacred heart, but have never really been sure how to interpret it to make it a less blatantly Christian symbol. I've actually been toying with the idea of a sacred heart tattoo, but I don't know if my sacreligious tendencies run that strong. Anyway... I love the complexities of meaning here, the directions I see your work moving in... very exciting.

+ah, i have longed for a sacred heart tattoo myself, and the design here is something i had drawn for myself some time ago. i never got it... my sacrilegous tendencies do run that strong, but i guess it's not the time.
if you liked that, you'll love the next one

i love how the bird and curtains seem so flat while the table really pops out into space at us.
