SCRATCH ART

As I was cleaning up my studio and sorting through my apple crate of old art, I found some of the scratch board things I have done through the years. Forgot how much fun this technique is.

PASSING TIME AND PRACTICE

Scratchboard doodleing...and a jazz collagraph.

ON THE ROAD

I have been out of Big Bear the last few days at a tournament with my baseball team. No studio time but I did bring along some scratchboard so I can doodle at the hotel in the evenings.

MIKE LYON REVISITED

One of my favorite websites to visit belongs to Mike Lyons. It is continually updated with really good articles on printmaking (woodblock), drawing, painting and silk screening. Also information on equipment and materials.

JUST FOR KICKS

I'm still finding it a great idea to have a piece of scratchboard close by. There are times when I don't want to jump head long into painting or working on a Lino or woodblock, but want to mark up something. So easy to grab some scratchboard and start doodling.

Scratchboard II

More work done on my scratchboard attempt. Guitar almost finished. I've been hesitant on starting work on the shirt. Will need different texture to show the folds and creases. I'm not sure about that yet!!
