Small woodcut reductions

I have a few projects in the works including an oil painting, monotypes and two woodcuts. The painting (to be featured in a future post) was done in water mixable oils (Winsor & Newton Artisan), while my prints use Akua Intaglio water-based ink (made with soy oil). These materials make for nontoxic work and easier cleanup. This site is a good reference for more info on nontoxic printmaking.

Some proofs of the two-color woodcut reductions are below. They're small--between 2-3" wide. More on these later.

And here's the first layer of a spiny lobster reduction woodcut. It's about 9x12". I haven't decided how many colors to use just yet.
