Andrea Lauren: Reduction Linocut Print: Cat on the Fence

The fourth in my series of Cat prints.

Andrea Lauren: Reductive Linocut Print: Cat in the Window

The third cat print of this series.  I really enjoyed sketching this one out and adding in some floral elements which I do not often include in my work.  I'm really pleased with how this particular print balanced the two colors.  It is my favorite of the lot so far.

Andrea Lauren: Two-Color Reduction Linocut: Cat on the Roof

Here's the second reduction linocut print in my cat series.  I'm thinking this is a vacation perspective.  Step-by-step: 1)  Sketch and idea for color separation.  2) Carving away the areas that will remain the paper color.  3) A look at the first color printed and the block for the second color ready to go through the press.  4&5)  Pulling the prints and letting them dry.

Andrea Lauren Printmaking Cat-tet Linocut

Another linocut in my series of 'Musical Tales'.  This quartet inspired by a vintage photograph of a very dapper string quartet.  If anyone out there is familiar with playing in a music group, there are many interpersonal as well as musical dramas to enjoy in chamber music or garage bands.  The string quartet is one of my favorite ensembles as it offers the best of unity of tonal quality and unique individuality in the same musical package.  Anyway, it was fun to carve and imagine this cat-tet's arguments and successes as a string quartet.

Moggy's Minuet Illustrated Linocut Print by Andrea Lauren

Another in this series of linocut prints -- this one is titled "Moggy's Minuet."  At the very beginning of my artistic journey I created an image very similar to this and it has come back around in a different form.  If I found myself playing piano in the same setting as this cat, I would have to play something in Ravel's beautiful style.  Original Print Shop.
