Featured what king of print is this

hi guys

might be an easy one for someone

cant find any info on artist so probably unknown, but might appeal to someone who likes tigers

the surface looks like some sort of carving, etching ?

does that mean its not a print, im confused

bit of foxing

any thoughts appreciated

RRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOAAAAARRRRRRRRR. ooo i needed that

 

Linoleum block? If it is, that's pretty darned detailed for that, but still....

 

I thought Lino cut too.

 

thanks bakers, ill look into that, yeah it is all engraved multi layered like the signature.

 

But then, there are those talented people out there...

 

just had a little look inside:

 

That's crying out for a more sympathetic mat and frame.

is it possible to love a post rather than just like ?

ya just killed me with that one

 

As an aside, I cannot help but notice your uncanny resemblance to Jeff Buckley.

 

Oops...I meant to say TIM.

 

easy mistake to maka my friend, i often pose the question, which buckley should i be today

 

See? You look JUST like him!

 

finding this the other day made me think of jivvy for some reason, anyone know if shes still about ? her presence is missed

 

Nice drawing!

I was going to say it looks like a scratch board drawing... what it's called in the U.S. I did some in an art class when I was in school. It's an interesting way to draw since you're reversing what we usually think of light and dark elements.

 

There was a thread that tagged jivvs not too long ago, Chesaroo. She's been super busy, but doing fine otherwise.

 

I was going to say scratch board. The same as scraper board...begin with a black surface, and use little tools to scrape away the black to create an image.

 

cool thanks pat, very helpful, i suppose drawing is the best way to describe it really

 

thanks me old mucka

it mentions on the back of the board about indian ink, so i guess thats what its coated in before the drawing starts
