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.

0149 - 2025.01 Fifteen Trees
In trying to draw better landscapes I carved this one. A certain naïveté perhaps, the trees cut in odd shapes- at least when smoothed as part of the photographic process. #lino #landscape #green

0153 - 2025.03 Six landscapes
Following the same design theme from. 0149 this was carved at the same time, a similarly small piece of Lino. This time I decided on small landscapes with coloured and uncoloured versions. All panel

Done on a single small piece of lino I originally intended the dark areas to be light but mid carve changed my mind and left them solid. So the coloured version gets highlighted on the hatched area

0150 - 2025.03 Blue Eyed Flowers
Back to flowers! I thought I would do some more flowers, four as it turns out so it didn’t matter too much which way was up. Nice enough, a bit dark (blue) in the lower right corner when photographed

Sitting in the car park at Bobbin Head, eating ice cream, as one does, I was admiring the clouds at the end of the day. I wondered if I could do a landscape of this, and when I got home attempted to

In the autumn the gore authority burns of dry bush land to prevent larger fires later. They are a common sighting around the fringes if the city, the white smoke rising on a calm day from an area of

0144 - 2024.02 Gum tree test
For some time I have been thinking about how to Lino cut a tree. Beautiful as they are, the question arises as to how much detail is needed, which in turn leads to how big the print needs to be. I di
