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.

An experimental Lino print for seeing how the effect of distance can work. I colour the black and white print digitally - not my usual watercoloring - to see the effect, which is the bright print ab

Carved on a small offcut quickly, it is not perfect but has some charm nonetheless. I originally coloured this in green and blue but it looked insipid. The yellow and orange gives more of a late afte

Experimenting with different landscapes, not carving everything out and letting the black do the work. #lino #landscape #yellow

I was playing around with Drypoint technique on tetra pack, cutting items to shape. In this case it’s a rough island shape with a smaller ‘reflection’ to match. The resulting print was fine - see be

Around the beginning of May I start to experiment with multimedia. In this print I’m using over-inked tetra pack shapes and biro and some watercolour. I have a large envelope of experimental drawings

Boulders litter the Monaro Plains driving into Cooma, I sketched this one from memory and did a Lino print. The two are coloured slightly differently. #lino #landscape #yellow

I imagined what a sawtooth chain of snow covered mountains would look like from the sea. Could be the Antarctic or Patagonia, Alaska or Kamchatka. Places I have never been and never likely to go to.

Exploring landscapes. Ink and a little watercolour, in two versions. Not happy either either of them, but there you go. #ink #landscape #green

Playing around with pen and ink and coloured pencil. With little perspective, the tents have the same roofline and so get taller as the beach falls away. It seems I am always “playing around“ with pe

A simple ink drawing with a little colour. The original is very small, about 5 x 5 cm (or 2 x 2 in the old money). #ink #bird #white #micro-art
