Block Prints and Woodcuts
 Block Prints and Woodcuts
Block printing is a process were a plate is drawn on and then carved. The raised area that remains accepts the ink and is printed on paper. For multicolor images, a series of images are printed with the first color. The plate is then carved again, ink and then printed over the top of the first layer. This process is repeated until the desired effects are achieved.

 The Process of creating Multicolored Prints
Many people have asked me about the process of creating multicolored prints. I have started this gallery to help show the process. By clicking on the arrows below the images you show be able to scroll between the layers of ink and watch the print develop. This is a work in progress. Currently, this print has five layers, I foresee it having eight or nine by the time I am finished. More will be added later.

 New Directions
Here is a collection of works that represent some of the new directions and ideas that I am pursuing. Being that some of these ideas are still in the "experimental" stages, feel free to give any constructive criticism, thoughts or reflections.
