Working from home last hour procrastadoodle
I did the posters for my local independent film festival which is coming up at the end of the month- obviously in person screenings aren’t possible, so the festival has switched to online. Tickets and film programme at https://margatefilmfestival.co.uk/
Obviously also the posters are not going to be put up around town or sold at screenings this year, so instead we did an art print version without text, and you can get an A2 print for £20 including UK postage on the festival site.
I got some linocutting stuff for my birthday so here’s some simian pals I did over the weekend. Fun and fairly easy craft, would recommend
They are great!
I’ve wanted to do lino cutting since school but they only let the double art kids use the stuff, not the mere single art pupils like myself.
Couldn’t find a good picture to steal for my Dungeons and Dragons character (need one for a token to show where you are on the map, ideally), so I tried drawing my own and I’m impressed how it turned out, I can never usually draw faces at all.
Are you really doing lino cutting if you don’t stab yourself in the hand at least once and baptise the artwork with blood?
Blood makes cheap ink
My blood is very expensive O-, sought after by all blood banks. Unfortunately I’m a bad candidate for blood donation because I frequently have to take steroids that bar me, and I have low blood pressure that makes it hard to get it out and makes me faint.
So all that rare blood, all for me.
Not quite drew but created in Photoshop- I made something stupid and fun - a free Photoshop mockup template for creating fake 8 track tapes. You can download it at 8 Track Tape photoshop mockup – A Note On a Rainy Night
The printed posters arrived and I’m really pleased with how they came out. There’s about 13 left unsold I think, so if you want one they’re £20 at www.Margatefilmfestival.co.uk
Hope your festival still managed to go ahead - such nice work!
Luckily the curator is a web developer as a day job, so she’s managed to move it online really well.
These are so cool
