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 exercise in simplicity, selectively inking the cut Lino to avoid chatter around the edges. I had doodled this design some years ago so it was interesting to try as a Lino cut. #lino #fauna #white

A squiggly line, backwards and forwards, formed a line of mountains. Looks like they’ve caught the sun. #lino #landscape #yellow #horizon

This is a reduction print, trying the technique for the first time, in two colours. The inspiration came from a flower in my mother’s garden. #lino #flower #orange

0003 - 2024.06 Four Leaves
As Autumn turned into Winter, leaves were plentiful and an obvious target for a beginner. The original Lino cut was pleasant enough, not outstanding. So I decided to create four prints and colour the

This set was the first Lino cuts I entered into an art show. Apparently when being hung they were discussed, being totally different to anything else on display, but it didn’t sell. In entering I to

This was a bit of fun, the grass seeds were attracted to the static of the acrylic sheet as I was etching. But the result looks like they are blowing in the wind. #drypoint_etch #plant #white

What could be simpler, three trees on a lawn. The original print was a couple of months earlier before I resolved on a colour scheme. #lino #plant #landscape #yellow
