Silhouettes

Looking at the silhouettes within the house.

I'm interested in linocut and like the way it can be used to create a contemporary silhouette and that you can make many copies and manipulate the images.

This is Lady Caroline Lamb lino cut I made. I like it printed on the decorative envelope, feels quite fitting to the old style setting.

 

Byron lino print and sketch below, this one is taken from a marble bust and has a more ancient Greek feel about it.

This is a lino cut of the image of Jane Morris (above) and William Morris (below)

by contemporary linocut artist Lucie Spartacus. I like how she captures the character in black and white print , referencing artists from the art and craft movement, the design atheistic as well as the characters. Her work is commercial, she sells these prints online.
