I started the trip with the idea of doing one linoprint every week, that meant finding time to be inspired draw/photograph and carve a block. I think I've pretty much kept up with that idea except for a lapse in Darwin when I spent time printing more images and then the week after when I had a low period which corresponded with the halfway point of our trip and having an average market experience.
I've regained my enthusiasm and now have 7 images including the Boab Tree which I printed today.
Printing on the road has been tricky in some ways but has led me to be more spontaneous.
Some of those picnic tables can be a bit rough and then trying to find a place to dry the prints - that's hard !
John's elasticized clothesline did the job well.
I purchased a plastic sleeved A3folio which fits inside a big plastic tub -this gets stored in the trailer and holds all my finished works.
I have found a soft computer bag fits all my lino, ink, perspex and tools - I keep this in the back of the car so it's easily accessible.
I'm hoping the extreme heat will not effect the prints in any way.
The image below is one I did in the Flinders Ranges - the first time I drew directly onto the lino,
23rd October
I had a fun time at Broome markets, being nice and small and friendly. I ended up selling a few works too. If you click on artwork below you can view some of the other work done on the trip including the kids prints.
