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.

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

Having photographed fruit in September I felt like doing some abstract work in October. There was no purpose to this design, the title came afterwards. #lino #abstract #yellow

Same notes as last few photos. The papaya just lay there, it was hard to find its best side. #photo #still-life #green

Same notes as the last couple of photos. The coconut was interesting to photograph, and final print shows a slight tinge of brown that is less obvious here. #photo #still-life #black

Why go out into the cold night air to photograph flowers? A visit to the local fruit market brought a handful of subjects home. The same technique as for my night garden compositions, but done in th
