St. Luke's Attic

In the midst of working on my brand new linocut, I have been working on another linocut. It’s kind of like this:

See how cool your host is? I went so far as to go to a free meme generator for this!

I am really having a linocut renaissance here. In fact that sounds like a very cool band name…

Dude: “Did you catch the The Linocut Renaissance this weekend?”

Dude’s friend: “Yeah, but they really gouged me on ticket prices. I couldn’t get any relief.”

This is the part where the laugh track informs you that the above dialogue was funny. So funny that you should be literally laughing out loud. Or LOL, if you prefer.

So what’s this image you ask? Here it is as it appears in my all-new drawing book:

The orange on the left and blue on the right mark this image as a casualty of drawing book carnage. It happens.

The idea as it was explained to me by my friend, Ned, is that the Old Testament ends with a curse andy the New begins with hope. The angel delivering the messages pronounces fire and dread on the left and Gabriel on the right announces John the Baptist’s birth.

There’s more going on here, but I do not like to explain my images too much. A little here and there is okay, but too much explanation is too much explanation.

Keep looking for that new Temptation linocut; it is proceeding apace!
