Not much to see here but I’m about to start carving my block for Big Ink. Using a table easel with adjustable height chair for the sake of my back and neck. And shoulders. And wrists. I think it will help my eyes too lol. Wish me luck.

Standing beside my freshly printed 40x40 woodcut. The first in new series of wizards based on pewter miniatures from the 80’s and 90’s to explore and depict escapism through nostalgia and fantasy.
Printed by the expertise that is Lyell aka Big Ink.
