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.

In Thredbo town square there is a stone sculpture of snow gums, which was the inspiration for this design. It feels a little 1960s. #lino #landscape #green

A view of Middle Harbour as if up high, imagined as I have neither a drone nor a helicopter. Originally I did a charcoal sketch, a few lines, then wondered if I could do a Lino print. Charcoal is pr

Following the previous work I applied a different colour set to the print to give a warmer look to it. Hence evening. #lino #landscape #yellow

0136 - 2024.12 Yosemite Falls (Morning)
When I first saw Yosemite Falls in 2015 it was a very crisp December morning, the water flow was light and the falls appeared between a gap in the redwoods. I’ve tried to capture this from a photo I

Based on a photo I took during a late Autumn visit to Yosemite in 2015, looking over the shaded redwoods in the afternoon. It’s not my greatest Lino print but it brings back happy memories of a very

My mother had a metal sculpture on her kitchen wall that inspired this, although when I started I was thinking about a mind map. It’s not a great print, you can see patchy black spaces, and maybe the

Like the last one, I just made cuts in the Lino in rows, more or less, after a quick sketch of something similar, in turn a memory of something I saw in a magazine. When colouring it in red orange ye
