How is it that my first woodcut print will be that of an antique car abandoned in the wild? It is hard to explain in words how an image speaks to you. A glance at the 12" x 9.5" maple wood block and the image later, somehow, they just felt right and I knew I got to cut the image on the wood. The transformation of the background was unexpected because I had to express colors of the brown and yellow grass in black and white. In its 1st state, I had made 3 prints of it. In the 2nd state, 12 original prints were made.... one is hanging in my living room, another resides in HK. That piece in HK also marks the first artwork that I have gave away as a gift. The 3rd is with another pair of good friends who live right by us. The rest of them, I have posted them up for sale and lets await results!
