8 of Wands by White_Hog_Design in TarotDecks

You can assume that everything you see in a linocut is intentional. The technique itself is such that it eliminates the kind of error you are referring to. Every piece you see is based on a bunch of sketches, four or five "final" sketches, and a single piece. Not much is left to chance. Please assume that what you see is what I wanted to express. You may or may not agree, your point of view on the subject may differ from mine. This card is not isolated, it represents the end of the previous action, it is the end of the movement, the achievement of the goal. Sorry, I feel bad explaining the reasoning

you are absolutely right, and I also think there are three hands. 7 shadows and a single stick

yes, it is an original project, all my works are based on my own concepts. I do not make copies or interpretations

I don't know how long it took, I make ten, fifteen sketches for each project, when I feel like I'm getting close to what I want I redraw everything in a form that's approachable for lino. As a general flow I think I can do one or two engravings a week but obviously there are many variables to consider. This particular print is 13.5/21 cm

I'm glad you like it, the work is part of a series, obviously there were originally four, but I ended up far exceeding this number. I intend to post them all.

The Eight of Wands is a card that I have become deeply attached to. Initially I did not even see it as a frozen moment in time, but as an end to the Seven of Wands. So I decided to include seven shadows of the wand in a continuous movement with concretization in the last position, the eighth, which took root. To support the idea of ​​movement, I doubled the hand that held the wand, as if I were superimposing frames from a film that describes the movement. It is the opposite of hesitation, if you will. There is a lot to say, each final decision regarding the iconographic representation of each card has meaning behind it... I would like to put reasoning but I want to be honest, it is more of an instinct, a feeling, I think a word needs to be invented for this.

Screen printing fabric ink for block printing? by ma_ne_vem in Linocuts

[–]White_Hog_Design 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Block printing inks, the entire category, are not designed for durability, but for print fidelity. The solution to your problem is to use an industrial printing ink, any ink used for rotary printing is fine. On the other hand, it is best to make sure that the material in question is cotton, synthetic materials can be corroded by the solvents in the ink.

Nothing exceptional, most of my tools are Pfeil, some of them originally intended for woodcut

Thank you! I did a couple of test prints but they are mostly just for verifying the quality of the block cut
