Nice work
thank you munro
Hmmm… is it too nerdy to comment on the paper weight? On your site I can see from the images that the edges of the paper are natural and nice and torn. I love working on thick paper like that. Is it printmaking paper?
You sure can my fellow nerd. That is in fact printing paper. It’s Somerset something, or Bockingford but its not as heavy as I’ve used before. I compared it to an older piece which had this amazing heavy paper. Might try and look for it again.
Nice! What was that other amazing paper? I love painting on printmaking paper… so heavy, yet so easy to store and ship. : )
Again I think it was a Somerset Heavy weight, smooth grain. Storage is a huge consideration for me. Has to be paper.
Oh, I see. I thought you meant that this piece was on Somerset, but there was another heavy paper that you had used in the past that was also amazing. I like Somerset! I also really love painting on a heavy Rives BFK. Who has the time or space for wooden stretcher frames and stretched canvas and all of that nonsense? The people want paper!
yes i think that is what i meant
but I think they were slightly different versions. I find the Somerset Satin isnt as absorbant as the water colour one. Maybe it was Bockingford. darn i should just check but too lazy
I have to say, I love the conveyor belt of babies. Such a great contrast to the blood-soaked sheets etc.
The ex told me to please stop drawing blood stains. It’s sick!
The ex is such a cutie
wonder what my friend the midwife would say about it
There’s so much interesting action, it’s almost a shame that my favorite parts are the cloth partitions! They have such a great feel and texture. The concept as a whole has been realized wonderfully. The colors are spot-on, and the bloodstains are indispensable.
Thanks Gabriel, I’m happy with the colours. It wasn’t exactly how I planned it which is always fun.
Eww…. ::laughs:: It’s so good!! It’s so peaceful; it’s so sick; it’s so grotesque; it’s so comforting and repulsive. That pretty much sums up my thoughts on having a kid–you captured it!!! =) I really like the paper too… On your other site, someone mentioned Kafka–something about the winding of the converyer belt and the surreality reminds me almost of Escher…..
mmmmm heavy weight paper. so sexy
i wish i was as good as escher.
Wow, amazing illustration, unsettling but compelling. Brings to mind the baby factories in Brave New World.
thanks Martin, I think that was probably also in the back of my mind as well. That book was horrifying but some ideas also seemed so plausible
