Woodcut Bootcamp

This June I traveled to St. Louis to take part in Tom Huck's Evil Prints Woodcut Bootcamp. During the week that I was there I carved and printed a large-scale woodcut. It was an amazing experience and I'm thinking about doing it again next year. Here are some pictures of the process and the finished print.

A Bird in the Hand

I finished the Bird in the Hand print. Still not sure if I'm going to do a two in the bush print to compliment it or not. Just have to find the perfect paper to pull the edition on...I'm thinking Mulberry.

Started a new print

now that I'm back from the conference and all filled with inspiration I finally started something new. something that I'm happy with too. It's going to be part of a diptych (maybe) that is, only if the second image is as strong as this one.

The Wolf

here's a fancy schmancy picture of my wolf head reductive woodcut print I did last semester. It was my first time working with wood. Inspired by tattoo flash designs. You can buy one of these from me for the fabulous price of $30! just shoot me an email at e.hagarty91@gmail.com
