A new work in progress ~ Paul carving Valerie’s drawing of “THE MOON” ~more details about this print on our site here:
This sketch was created for some very good friends of mine. It was a wedding present and it shows the Moon on their wedding day. I usually do my almost Full Moon sketches in black and white but I decided to add some subtle colours into this one, showing the different basalt composition colours.
I used black paper and Stabilo CarbOthello pastel pencils. Blending was with cotton buds and blending stumps.
This gift has now been opened by the happy couple so I can share the photo and creation video. To view the timelapse video click here: flic.kr/p/2nU14rd
A new work in progress ~ Paul carving Valerie’s drawing of “THE MOON” ~more details about this print on our site here:
"American manned lunar rover. Study 1968. The Bendix Local Science Survey Module was a forerunner of the Lunar Rover. The LSSM was a small size vehicle used to support a local manned survey. It was proposed for delivery with an LM Shelter.
AKA: Local Scientific Survey Module.
Status: Study 1968.
Payload: 320 kg (700 lb).
Gross mass: 900 kg (1,980 lb).
The typical, one-man configuration weighed on the order of 450 kg, was battery powered and had a total range capability of 200 km per mission. The crew sat in an open cockpit.
As envisioned in 1968, the single-person battery-powered go-cart would have four individually driven wheels, and be capable of a 14-day mission after 90 days of storage on the surface of the moon (it was expected to be delivered by an unmanned cargo carrier before the manned mission arrived). It had a nominal operating speed of 8 km/hour, an individual sortie duration of three to six hours, an 8 km radius of operation, with a total range of 25 km per sortie or 200 km per mission. The 900 kg operational mass consisted of 450 kg for the basic vehicle, 320 kg of cargo, and 130 kg for one astronaut and his space suit. Bendix built a prototype, but the far lighter and somewhat less capable two-crew Lunar Rover was developed instead.
Crew Size: 1.
Crew: 130 kg (280 lb)."

While I understand the cushioning & shock absorption intent of the unique wheel design, what’s up with the smooth treadless contact surface? If you hit a patch of black ice on those, like, say when tooling around Shackleton Crater...you’re toast.
Note also the modified lunar module, with what appears to be the LSSM cradle/housing fixture...at the level of the ascent stage. And check out the snout-like appearance of front of the ascent stage. Doesn’t it look like it should house a chute/slide? Hmm...possibly a method of egress that NASA didn’t want any of us to know about? Actually makes the rope idea look pretty good.
...upon further research - not even for this - it's a LM shelter...I should've known. AND, check this out:

Last, but NOT least, another small win for preserving the memory of the myriad artists & illustrators that brought to life what was envisioned/planned! This is one of many wonderful works by Mr. Renato Moncini!

The yellow line is where we will jigsaw out the central moon shape, allowing us to print different shades on the moon and the starry backdrop. We'll be making one other block as well.
Available for pre-order at the intro rate here (delivery by x-mas!):
Keep finding more photos we forgot to post showing the making of "THE MOON" woodcut. The key block was jigsawed, each part of the block (the sky blue, the dark of the moon) was inked seperately with the two parts fitting together for printing. But the 'Moon' had to get twisted in just right to line up exactly right each time. We had this little 'key' system all worked out!
Prints of "THE MOON" remain available at this link for a limited time: www.tugboatprintshop.com/woodcut_themoon.htm

Early, early beginnings of the background being drawn in for "THE MOON"…drawn in blue cuz they don't make grey sharpies.
Background will be a 2 tone of little stars, with a glowing aura around the moon itself. We'll print two colors from this block (the dark of the moon, and a grey tone for the background) ~ the central moon will be jigsawed out and plopped back in after being inked (sorta like our Big Bad Wolf: www.flickr.com/photos/tugboatprintshop/5469542772/in/set-...)

Well into the carving of the first block for a new print, "THE MOON" , due out this holiday season! www.tugboatprintshop.com/woodcut_themoon.htm
This sketch was created for some very good friends of mine. It was a wedding present and it shows the Moon on their wedding day. I usually do my almost Full Moon sketches in black and white but I decided to add some subtle colours into this one, showing the different basalt composition colours.
I used black paper and Stabilo CarbOthello pastel pencils. Blending was with cotton buds and blending stumps.
This gift has now been opened by the happy couple so I can share the photo and creation video.
To create the video I used a Canon 1100D and took a photo every ten minutes. The video was created using PIPP and Movie Maker 10.

When I was photographing the 95% Waning Gibbous Moon on 26th February 2024 there were several craters near the terminator that were screaming "Draw me like your French girls" and it's been niggling at me ever since. Last night I needed some time off from writing, so I made these sketches from the photos I took. I used my black sketching book and Stabilo CarbOthello pastel pencils in white and black. There are more sketches I'd like to do from that night but these will do for now

Experiment with long exposure and light painting - making a heart from the moon.
First one here. Went back out and played with exposure and duplicated the effort. Kinda. I was a lousy heart drawer in school. ;->
