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.

A few wriggly pen lines, and a bit of colour, the impression of mountains on the horizon. Just playing around. ———————————————————— Technique: #draw Theme: #landscape Highlight colour: #black #yello

0258 - 2025.11 Sow and pigs channel marker, at dawn
There’s a fairly substantial channel marker in Port Jackson, sitting on a reef in the main channel. Definitely a hazard to shipping. On a calm morning there is no bustle of ferries, shipping and plea

Robertson Point sits at the end of the Cremorne peninsula in Sydney Harbour. The lighthouse is iconic and much photographed. Walking the dog there recently reminded me of it, and how in the evening t

0001 - 2023.04 My first Lino cut
Recording this for posterity, this was lesson number one, cutting and inking a piece of Lino. As you can see registration wasn’t perfect, and as time has since shown one of very few two colour reduct

Trying to develop a better landscape style I came up with this design. This was the sketch I did to inspire this work. The same but different, the pen can do things the cutting tools cannot. Foolish

My notes say that this was a quick Lino cut done in class (yes, I am still learning) intended to be coloured - sometimes they may be a black and white print and then I colour them, but more recently

0180 - 2025.05 Monarch
A change from flowers, butterflies have a nice symmetry. This is modelled on a Monarch butterfly not intended to be true to life. Once designed and cut into the Lino I had to decide on the background

Continuing my flower designs, I left the flowers uncoloured and let the white paper show through. Then I printed it again and painted it red. Which is better? #lino #flower #white #red Merchandise:
