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

This bears no relationship to the inspiration, a simple drawing of two hills in muted greys. Done in print class with a limited range of Akua colours to choose from - and not the yellows I was planni

Tried another multi piece Lino print. Had trouble thinning the ink so it went on too thick, not helped by the small pieces and trying to avoid inking my fingers. Here’s the pieces, assembled The gho

With our regular teacher overseas, the substitute teacher had us doing monoprints. It’s quite good fun but I find laying out bits of shrubbery and inking them up is less creative than designing for L

With a beach inspiration (see 0167 Beach Tents) I decided to do this as a multi block print - but carving out the blocks from a single piece of Lino and inking each separately. When reassembling the

The centre holds an art fair each year and our printmaking class has got into the habit of creating cards as saleable items. As my work is digitised it is easy for me to call up and modify old design

Following my “Three Beach Tents” design I continue with camping tents, with the same patchy softness of colours. I’m on a roll and do a third design in my series. The thin Akua ink gives a pleasing s

The originals of these are charcoal and watercolour, on thick acrylic 300 gsm paper using the rough side. In digitising them I have gone for a monochrome aesthetic. I like the slight blue and black
