The first of the chimpanzee run with block ink. Just a quick trial run on brown paper before I went off to work. I am undecided whether I should carve more out of the darker side of the face and risk loosing some of the contrast in colour.
It kind of reminds me of Planet Of the Apes.
I think I'll carve the space away above the arms and give the monkey more definition. Yes/No??
The first print below held only very little ink, as is usually the case the third prints are usually the best before the block gets saturated.
The lino carving as is at the moment. Maybe trial printing on fabric before I make a decision.
