Lino Cut Work 'Cats'

Lino cuts ‘Cats’; I.G.

     I am adding my first attempting to work with the lino cut technique for illustrating the writer Danill Kharms poem.

   

 Lino cuts ‘Cats’ & Lino cuts prints; I.G.

     Thinking about a  poem conveying the plot ‘Cats via Man’, I went to the conclusion do not start a composition already made illustrating a scene when the man is offering the dinner for cats, while them are refusing  shown kindness, but to start from separate characters: to think about cats and make lino cuts first and after to ‘relay’ on the man.

      Lino cut blocks on the left side are changed, as I more worked with the thick line cutting out not necessary fields. I think the cat is more convincing as lines have got right balance.  Different inks are as the option to try to look what kind of colour works better – black, blue, brown or green with the fusion of yellow.  However, my lino cut printing are still drying, next time I am going to add visual results and continue ‘the man research’.
