'The Ripple Watchers' final print

With the extra detail (fish scales, etc) now added, the illusion of two images is perhaps now biased towards the fish, but the overall effect I think is interesting. Note the sparse use of the second redution colour, black - the pupils and eyebrows only, remain on the faces. The rest of their face details was scraped away to nothing. It's hard to ruin a linocut in the name of your art, but this was an excercise in reduction linoprints. Next time I will be making a far bigger edition run. Perhaps then destroying my lino wont seem so drastic!

    both versions are beautiful. i think i'm partial to the spartan original where the fish isn't so defined...but the addition of black adds power. onward!
