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

One of the joys of being a grandparent is having a grandson for whom one can create a little art. In the blog heading I refer to what I do as being “everyday art”. This is the perfect example. A sket

0125 - Gymea Lily 2
Pursuing my idea of a Gymea Lily, I crafted a small (30 cm) Lino as a design mock up. The flower on the lily is quite tricky to reduce to a few lines, especially at the small size of print I was tr

Playing around with pen and ink, just doodling. Probably shouldn’t be in the archive but they are not horrible either. #ink #tree #green

A bit of an experiment trying to depict the countryside after rain has fallen. I did a number of prints, most of them unsatisfactory, and just showing the best one here. #tetra_etch #landscape #black

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

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
