Rainbow Girl Lino Print

This is my latest linocut. I'm not nuts about it...but I spent so much damn time on it...I have to give it a little attention. Here's where I'm at:

 

01. I'm not creative enough to do "smarter" linos.

02. I'm not artistic enough to make "real" linos.

03. I'm not very consistent or accurate with my inking.

04. I DO feel like I'm a good cutter.

 

For these kinds of illustrations where there is tons of negative space...I need a larger brayer...I keep falling into the valleys.

 

This illustration is inspired by the famous lyric of A Hard Rain's A Gonna Fall by Bob Dylan:

 

I met a young girl...she gave me a rainbow

 

This is Blick block print ink on cruddy drawing paper with your basic kids water color set.
