Consider removing the window mat, and reducing the length and width of the moulding accordingly.

Nicolas Party 2022 New Print Edition, by eyectopus on Feb 18, 2022 23:56:03 GMT 1, Well indeed! If you read my earlier post in this thread you will see that have said that this print also reminds me of Aubrey Beardsley. Great minds...! It is reassuring to learn there are some Aubrey Beardsley enthusiasts here. Some of his illustrations remain shocking to this day. They're among the most subversive and radical I've ever seen — making an image like Ban ksy's Queen Vic look positively quaint by comparison.
It amazes me how he picked up so much knowledge and skill so quickly and could merge it all into his work. The fact he could sneak elements past the noses of editors and publishers and also having fun referencing real life people and related symbols is brilliant.
Of the areas his influence is seen my favourite is the pulp science fiction illustrations of Virgil Finlay decades later.

Like Schiele, it’s desperately sad how young he died, as one can’t imagine what he might have left for the world had he not been taken so young.

Yes it is very sad. They both could have had another 40 - 50 years of work, collaboration and development if not taken by illness.

Good interview
You’re well known for, among other things, your vibrant colors – so why a black and white edition?
I actually love working in black and white. I made pastels, pastel murals, oil and acrylic murals and charcoal murals using only black and white. I love the subtle shades of grey each medium offers. I also made a series of mezzotints; a printing method know for it velvet black quality. I recently started printing woodcuts specifically in black and white. This was influenced by my love of woodcuts by Felix Vallotton, who was a master of that technique in black and white.
You seem to be into wood cuts at the moment rather than say silk screen – any particular reason for its attractiveness? Were woodcuts part of your studies when you were at Glasgow?
I did a lot of screen-printing in Glasgow. I was making many posters. I was also part of an artist group that only focused on screen-printing. We met every Wednesday in the print workshop to make screen-prints all together. It was a lot of fun! Woodcut is a very different process. The labor and concentration required during the carving is very intense - it is that intensity that I like - it is relaxing, long and technical so you get into a meditative state.
