EVERYDAY DIGITAL ART
Lino. Photography. An archive of images.
I’m exploring my creative side after a career with numbers, creating colourful digital images through various media.
Use the post and homepage #hashtags to filter by media, theme or colour - or just explore randomly.
Lino prints are hand coloured and then digitally enhanced for colour balance.
Photography is straight out of camera.
There is a smattering of other media. Etching includes drypoint and tetra pack work, and together with ink works are similarly hand coloured before being photographed.
I’m calling this Everyday Art because I don’t pretend otherwise.
To each image I have added context notes, creating a history of my work. Naming has year and month to give an approximate timeline to the work, so I (and you) can see how it has developed over time. The good and the bad (well, there are gaps in the sequence so not the truly awful!) are all included.
My digital art (and stories) has been moved to dbwords.quotion.co
I’m not on social media yet.

I had several attempts at this one, starting with a sharpie pen to try and do something different. It was rubbish. But when I get back to Lino the design comes out better. Something to do with the cu

Firewheel flowers are hard to draw, as they are often high in the tree and hard to see. But this one was low, so I had a go doing a Lino cut. The print at the top I ran through an iPhone app to give

Every free steps forward has a step backwards too. At this point I have been creating images for just a year, well creating Lino cut images. I have been photographing and doodling for ages. To do the
