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.

Did this on vinyl rather than Lino. Different cutting experience but smoother lines. For fun I then ran it through an app on my old iPhone. Added colour. Certainly quicker than getting the paintbrush

“Anyone who has been to sea - proper sea that is - will tell you that the sea, the ocean if you go far enough, is not a single blue. It all depends on the sky, the amount of cloud, the ang

A random idea - the best sort - popped into my head while visiting my mother, scribbled onto a card in my pocket. I scribbled around on my phone with a few ideas before trying this out. A hand drawin

0303 - 2026.07 Which way?
Scratched the original idea on a napkin, like so. Always pays to have a sharpie in one’s pocket. I had a couple of titles before settling on “Which way?” The usual Lino cut, watercolour and digital

After seeing little sprouts of mushroomy things rising in the grass, I thought I should do a picture on the same theme. So a simple Lino print that I did with 2 versions coloured differently. Techn

I started this back in August 2025 but didn’t get to print it until June. Took a couple of attempts at colouring to get the sky dark enough, and it’s gone a bit blue in the photography and saturation
