St. Luke's Attic

I’m taking a short break from the drawing book excitement, not because I have no more books, but because… Well, because.

I thought I would take this break in the action to inform you about a NEW LINOCUT that I’m working on. I’m still in the drawing stages, but it promises to be a good one!

The idea for this one came to me in Lent. The idea is to make a polyptych that deals with temptation with Jesus’ temptation in the wilderness as the jumping off point. I used the drawing that I wrote about on March 30th as the basis for one of the images. There will be appearances by St. Jerome, St. Anthony Abbot, St. Mary of Egypt, and others! It’s meant to be a set of images for Lent and here we are out of Lent and into Easter already. But that’s okay. I think the cutting of this block will take a long time. Comparable to the Cream Legbar in terms of difficulty of cutting.

I’ll show more as I get it done.
