Day 28

I'm taking a class at UMass Boston called Introduction to Printmaking.  In the class we draw a picture, transfer it onto a block, and then carve the block.  Whatever is carved off becomes white when printed.  It is definitely a challenge because I have never taken an art class and, in my opinion, did not/don't have any measurable artistic ability when it comes to drawing things.  So here it goes.  Here is the block, carved, with the ink on (excuse the flash):


And here is the print that it made (at a weird angle so as to avoid the flash):


Hopefully I'll get better as the semester goes, but not bad for a first timer.
