new linos

I did another set of lino prints for the bit of the book where the boys went to rob the old lady's house, just before Alex gets arrested. All the prints for this one turned out pretty well:

The composition is similar to the first print, but I thought this composition would look good for the four characters - they look like madmen jumping across the page. It still has the creepy undertones with the nakedness, red eyes and weapons. I think all the prints will work together well when I'm finished. I used nice, thick stock for some of the prints which did work well, but I like how they look against the newsprint as it is slightly off-white - I might do the whole set on an off-white thick stock, possibly somerset
