And you're gonna get in trouble-- HEY-YA HEY-YAAA QUIMBAYA'S-BACK! ...
As promised, Quimbaya man is back! Once a drawing of an Indigenous character, it is my latest linoleum print avec Chine- Collé method applied. It's the colored pieces of japanese paper glued to it. There are different ways of doing this but I just glued one side of the colored paper and placed glue-side up on my already inked block...put it through the press and VOILA!
I've been into traditional media...stuff that was basically technology back in the day. Don't get me wrong, I love digital art and what it can do, I use it myself. But it's nice to understand the past and try to incorporate it into today's technology. It's my philosophy for everything, really-- and it applies to my view on art as well. It's nice to know that I could've taken this print and make a green and orange shape and fill it in on photoshop...but it was 10 times more fun to get my hands dirty and get something more "handmade."
Anyway, this is a oil-based ink linoleum print, using Chine-Collé on Colombian Bark paper.

is it pronounced KOOM-BI-YAH? I love that song. I definitely feel what your saying about bringing traditional medium into a more contemporary use. I cant wait to see more of this type of work, maybe some music posters even?!
Thanks Charliquitacos!
It's pronounced KEEM-BA-YAH. Sorry to disappoint. :P
