fiji island mermaid press friday may 24 2013 rex howls at the moon the most recent fiji island mermaid press book of the month club mailing was a bit different from the typical book on the envelope was a linocut of a howling dog with rex howls at in pencil the envelope contained another linocut titled the moon this is my 13th year of sending out little books that s kind of nuts this was the first one that really wasn t a book but it was a little narrative sequence of sorts so i guess my subscribers will forgive me another thing they seem to forgive me for is my chronic tardiness the book of the month club has never actually succeeded in sending out a book every month ever but i always do send people 13 books over the course of their subscription so i guess that s ok too i m thinking of changing the name to the fimp something or other in the mail once in a while club posted by marc snyder 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels artist s

to facebook share to pinterest labels animation drawing monday april 30 2012 work in progress a linocut for our rarer monsters i m currently working on the seventh linocut of a series of eight that will be published in a book of poetry by noel sloboda later this year the book will be our rarer monsters and i ve been posting the linocuts and some various related images over on flickr here s the first little doodle drawn on the manuscript while reading the poems and thinking about the kinds of images i wanted to make then there were some thumbnail sketches in the sketchbook here s an excerpt from that particular exploration with the pen and here s the initial drawing that i worked up on the block before i made the first cut as i ve been working on these prints i ve been scanning the blocks i ve found this to be useful as a way of deciding where to go next with the gouge i can take the scan in photoshop heighten the contrast to get a sense of the final black and white look of the linocut and reverse the image to see the mirror image composition that will be the actual finished print that reversal can have big effects on a composition so it s helpful to have some sense of what s going to happen but i realized that the scans themselves were becoming kind of beautiful as images on their own both for the contrast between the carved mark and the drawn mark and because the surface gets so heavily worked as i draw and erase and redraw looking for both the correct value and often more critically the direction of the cut that i want to make next i tend to work very slowly and sneak up on the image and try to avoid settling in to a pattern when i cut i really want to draw with the gouge so i post these hybrid images as a sort of behind the scenes look at how the linocuts happen it s a different species of drawing than what i do in my sketchbook some of the marks are describing value and some are shorthand marks recording decisions about which direction my next cut should take which of the possible cross contours my gouge will follow the last image above is the current state of the block plenty of opportunities left to screw it up stay tuned to see if it survives posted by marc snyder 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels linocut our rarer monsters why draw work in progress wednesday december 21 2011

sketchbook posted by marc snyder no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest thursday november 24 2011 lynda barry thinks about why adults don t draw one idea i have is the big change that happens in drawing is when a kid is drawing the paper is a place for an experience at some point the paper transforms into a thing that is good or bad rather than a place where the paper itself isn t you ve seen kids draw and they don t give a shit afterward they just leave the drawing on the table an adult spends the same amount of time drawing and they don t know what to do with it what s it for they get freaked out about what this thing might be for because there s this idea that it s for something they don t do that when they take a walk or a bike ride they don t take a bike ride and then go man what do i do with this now i don t know if that was really good i felt like this was a good bike ride but then they saw this video and no it wasn t a good bike
