Death in a Fieldby ~thirdred

Traditional Art / Printing / Wood Block

This was the last woodcut I did (a couple years ago) after being inspired by Bergman and mildly debating making a set prints playing with tarot themes.

This is stunning, the texture mesmerizing. How big is this?

Your style is inspiring! I'm reminded of the old woodcuts circa 16th century

Very remarkable.

Great!

Wow, how long did it take you to do all those cuts?

~thirdred Feb 10, 2012

Sorry, i forgot about my deviant page. Woodcuts usually take me a week or two, depending on detail. This one was a bit bigger and swirlier so I think it took a month.

Oh that's a lot of work.
And thanks for the reply

I can tell you one thing, if you didn't know yet, this wood cut exactly matches a "Discworld" book written by Terry Pratchett about his particular characterization of "DEATH." For that reasona and skill show here

I wasn't aware of that, what book was it? I originally designed this woodcut after watching "The Seventh Seal" and was playing around with the idea of doing a series of prints inspired (but not literal) by tarot major arcana. Thanks for the comment!

"DEATH" is a character in most of Pratchett's Discworld books, just like it is a reality on any world I know.
This is a beautiful woodcut. I wish it would show up in my 'sit-back' slide show. I'm puzzling over it now.
Ah...Silly me. I forgot to actually hit the "Add Favorite" bar before. Sheesh.
