A large amount of detail and greyscale range was lost into black or white when printing this lithograph. Even more so when scaled then digitized. However, it fits this week's Illustration topic of Black and White.
I can still see plenty of detail here and plenty of texture as well. Again, another fine, thought provoking piece. It's quite a treat popping in to your site once a week!!!
your "womb" is remarkable...love how you've shown both inner and outer. digitalizing sucks, but unfortunately is a necessary evil. however, it makes me want to see the real thing even more! cheers luv, kerry
Thanks Detlef; what you don't see can't be missed.
Ur work is rock AND roll bubi :)
There is more to this 'womb' than meets the eye Kerry, try squinting and see the parents. Ohh even have a few suck'ers in there, little addition about digital loss.
Being about life might have helped AVS - thank you :)
Thank you for your kind comments Isay and Mai. Nice to see you again Mick - glad to tickle your creepybone :)
Now big Harry - a practising artist is far superior to an educated one; all you need to know about others' art IS whether you like it or not. Nice to be admired, I admire your work too - in a BIG way!
btw: you are the one with no hair. I was trying to remember exactly how your little self-icon looked and I was thinking it had no hair. oh well....hee hee...oops.
Intensity is exaggerated by missing grey tones. Glad you like it Miss Daze.
REALLY glad, really, really ... my hair dropped out after experiencing your tentacles; now hoping I'm not actually a ghost, 'The Sixth Sense' revisited.
My sonogram, sound spectrogram, or audiospectrogram shows no way near amplitude variation represented by the density or 'blackness' of the image. Glad both Jas and Tony sensed its 'real life/time' creation.
Miss Daze, are you pretending to have lost your senses? Or does the sixth need some fine tuning? Try Photoshop's filter for sonograms!
I like the amniotic fluid waterfall and the tentacle flap ! Also it's pretty kewl that you gave the child a scaly tadpole-like tail and scabby legs. It looks like Henna on the adult hand, is that symbolic ? Etheric and evocative. The dreamlike quality is quite arresting!
Hey yeah nice stuff. I liked your coment about where'd I see that fellow 'out and about'. Touche'! But I guess what I meant is that where ever I am I can do the drawing then and there. On simular note, recently I was doing some drypoints and I wasn't getting any results with the final print. I then tried using sandpaper for shading instead of cross hatching and it looked fantastic and worked with that medium infintily better. SO in that instance I wouldn't use C.H :)
Thank you Janey, it is very different from your beautiful watery pastel colours :) I am looking forward to receiving one of your postcards.
Anthony - I nearly suggested for your Black and White illustration that you try etching on zinc - it is great for crosshatching. What material are you using for drypoint? This technique could be very good when you sketch 'out and about' if drypointing plastic and you are carrying a lunch box :)
im glad we have a topic like black and white to really get our creative juices flowing. i see that you have taken to the topic very well also. i like this one, and i think if it was in color im not too sure how i would feel about it. nice job!
Wow, there's is so much spirituality in this work! It's a whole life journey in one sense, but I love the concept of woman's body as the living earth, with the unborn figure heading towards a divine light.
Hi Emily, this is the original piece photographed; but the size 665mm x 390mm or just over sixty by nearly fourty centimeters would best be scanned. Wouldn't we all want a scanner that size! Thanks for your thoughts.
There is so much to see in this... fantastic details of the scales and light. wonderful as usual. And I don't think I commented on Summer Morning but it's absolutely gorgeous. I can't express that enough.
looks like i've missed out on all the fun in your world luv! i've been hiding in my whiney grumpy place! ha ha:) i think i like ian t's comment the best...he has a great insight. i really wish i had a huge screen to view your work on, mine is too tiny to appreciate it properly! cheers, kerry
Ian T does have great insight :) Miss Daze and I have been having fun as exquisite bitches and declare ourselves and each other as a genius. Turn your cranky into a wicked chuckle Kerry :)
Hi Anon...thanks for dropping by my site and your comments in the post. I love the litho here. Used to do that in college...messy work but oh! so fulfilling when it prints out.

very beautifully expressed!
Hi A,
You've done it again...a deliciously composed piece that creeps me out a little. Love it.
Anon, i'm not an educated artist, so please forgive my simplistic reviews. I don't know much about art like the reviews above me.
All i know is I love your work. Hopefully, one day, i'll be this good too. Until then, i'll just admire pros like you.

This is quite intense and lovely. Visual poetry.

Did someone make a comment after mine? I thought I heard something. Nah, must just be my imagination. Or the wind.
I shall haunt you FOREVER Miss Daze. Watch those tentacles, wouldn't want something happening to them in the middle of the night ...
Jeez, there it was again.
This is very nice and I'm seeing lots of detail.
I get the feeling that his is opne of those pictures that is stunning in real life.
I've heard about this... the new real-time Photoshop filter for sonograms! Groovie as allways. :)

It looks like Henna on the adult hand, is that symbolic ?
Etheric and evocative. The dreamlike quality is quite arresting!
YOU are a dream Steve :)
Yes, the hand has symbols related to geneology, however because of the 'blackness' they can't be seen. Which is also very symbolic.
Blar!
Knew it! Miss Daze has stupified.
Excellent, beautiful work!

Totally agree Chacha ... if it were in colour, it would appear rather revolting :)

What a beautiful interpretation Ian T., it is indeed a life journey which has not ended, and never will.
Total confusion - anon you'll be forever now.
Hello Janey, Anon is good I don't know where 'Alice' came from either - Wonderland?
Today I received a postcard of 'Lavender Man' by Janey. Go to http://janeysjourney.com/ to see her wonderful postcards :)
Quite impressive...though you've made me curious about the original piece. I wonder how it would do photographed?
Also, thank you for your comment on my illo.

Your work always makes me sit up and take notice; you make me think, and I like that. I'm always impressed by your talent!
That is a great compliment coming from an already great thinker Aravis :)
There is so much to see in this... fantastic details of the scales and light. wonderful as usual.
And I don't think I commented on Summer Morning but it's absolutely gorgeous. I can't express that enough.
Just as much admire your work Amy - you are very talented!

Hi Indigo, lithographs have a special silky finish to them. You are lucky to have had a first hand opportunity to printing them :)
Looks like a good world to be born into.
I've never worked with lithographs, but my friend Rebecca has and it was fascinating.
Nice sense of balance here.
Lithography is very technical but gives brilliant results Mary Stebbins Taitt :)
