Lino Cut

Recently I took a photograph of a Fork Tailed Drongo – a bird that eats insects but seems to specialise in bees. A beautiful black bird with a rather grating call. I cleaned up the back ground so the edges of the bird are a bit ragged,

So first off, I did a linocut on plain paper.

A smooth print of a bird with fairly solid dark patches

Then I got creative. Instead of cartridge paper, I used pastel paper with a rough texture and I kinda like the textured look.
