At the begining of this project, the concept of block printing was very new to me. I had done similar things using wood carving tools, but it wasn't all the same. This time around we were given composite blocks that could be carved into, to get an effect similar to that of a rubber stamp. I started with a more simple design than the one above, sketched it out, transfered the penicl onto the block and carved it out just to get the feel for it. It was cool looking, but ultimatley I wanted to challenge myself so I decided to portray this scene from the old Disney movie "Alice in Wonderland" using the same techniques as before. It was just as much of a challenge as I expected it to be, which was just what I wanted. This was definatley one of the more new and exciting projects this year.
