Art Post: Stupid Canadian Wolf Bird (Gavia immer)

[radiantfracture]

Because when I make fan art, I like it to be as obscure as possible

Sure, it looks like a linocut of a loon but really it's a symbol of queer hockey transcendence

[ETA: I want to use some of the shimmering ink* to create the iridescent effect of the black feathers and to do the red eye -- painting ink on overtop of the print didn't do what I wanted, so maybe painting it right onto the printing block somehow?]

* specifically, Octopus Fluids' Witch, pine green with purple sheen

That is excellent. I look forward to the results of the iridescence.

Love it!

The symbolism's beyond me, I just like the way it looks!

Love it. Also have I ranted at you about David Blackwood yet? I think however he gets those layered effects would look very cool with this (although he was doing intaglio not linocut).
