thanks ! glad you like it :)
That must have been nerve wracking to cut out! All those delicate lines look fantastic.
thank you very much, it’s a bit hard physically on the wrists and knees but mentally no, I’m focused and I can’t see the time passing during the engraving.
thanks mate ! :)
I really like this! Is there a bit missing for the north coordinates? It seems like there’s a space for a decimal, and one of the ticks for the seconds is missing
thanks ! in fact, a dot must have come off when I was cleaning the plate at [57.5"N] a friend of mine said the same thing.
Okay… admit it. You’re cheating by printing white on black, aren’t you?
hahaha, it wouldn’t have been any less complicated !
Thanks :) Here’s a version with captions that should answer all your questions
yes ?
My wrists hurt just looking at that.
hahaha, and knees :D
My girlfriend and I just checked your instagram account. I didn’t realize how much work goes into these. Needless to say, we loved it!
Now I feel inspired to make art of my own, thanks man!
thank you very much mate ! yes, it’s quite a lot of work! very glad it’s been able to motivate you ! good luck with your future productions! :)
you can find pictures on my website/shop link also in my profile on on reddit : u/NOG11
yes, I’ve made a few “reels” videos that you’ll find on my instagram account (links on my profile or @julien_catanese on insta) or I’ll certainly post them here as I go along if the sub accepts videos.
thanks ! no sorry for copyright reasons I can’t because i sell my prints as limited editions.
thanks :)
thank you very much ! :)
hi ! thank you very much ! yes i registered on lemmy this week but i’ll post my other work as i go along :) otherwise you’ll find it on my insta or on my website which links are on my profile.
haha indeed, thanks ! pioneer paltes and the golden record are my initial source of inspiration. I’ve kept the minimalist linear design
thanks :)
:) thank you ! indeed, in a bookshop that would be very elegant! do you have a general bookshop or a particular literary genre?
What sorts of tools do you use? And it is any particular type of lino or is it still basically those blocks you get but on a larger scale? I was using a brand new scalpel with a beginner set but the lino was still so soft it was hard to cut… do you use a firmer sort?
Excellent work by the way :)
thank you very much ! :) i mainly use well-sharpened pfeil gouges for routing and most of the work, for all the details i use a cutter. it’s traditional grey lino with a medium hardness, depending on the temperature of the piece it’s more or less easy to work. with the rubbing of the hand and forearm it warms up slowly and softens as it goes along. when i started engraving i bought a large roll of lino, 5m x 1m, which i’ve just finished with my latest engraving. i bought it in england before brexit but it doesn’t ship to france any more :/ i need to find a plan B.
hahaha, thanks ! I wanted there to be some substance to it, and not just some quantum bullshit. even if on the whole there’s no real scientific interest.
