Before the Dawn

Before the Dawn
Woodblock with ink, 2x4'









This is a 3/4" piece of birch plywood that I etched, then rolled with ink and pressed on paper to create a print. Normally, this woodblock is not considered to be the art piece itself, but the means to put the art onto the paper. Personally, I usually prefer the wood itself to the print.

This woodblock is also a companion piece to my painting, Awakening.

A portrait of one of my best and longest friends. This was a project that I got to do just for fun in one of my painting classes last semester.
