Shock! Amazement! New work and a fresh post!

Wow, have I been slack or what?  Anyway, there is new work on the go- woodcut and mezzotint.  The first one marks the 'retirement' of one of the 'Directors, Cut' blocks.  I am taking the Kurosawa print down, and will not be printing any, because it is the one out of the whole series I have been unhappy with.  From a  technical perspective, I just don't think it works very well, and is less striking and memorable than it ought to be, so it is going.  Hold your tears, put the hankies away, for it is being replaced with...Mike Leigh! 
Feast your eyes, and keep an eye out for the printed version.  I'm partly tempted to leave it as it is, and just show the block because it looks so good.  Without further ado:
Mike Leigh, block partly cut

    I'm Phil, making prints from whatever pops up in my head and won't go away. 
    The image is what matters, not what I look like or other trivia.  If you really want to find any of that out, pop down to the workshop when I'm in and we'll have a chat and a brew
