A few weeks ago I made art nouveau style Robby lino prints, and I decided to make a matching Abbot in night/dusk colours :)
They’re all hand carved & hand printed from blocks of lino (you can see the carving in the last two images).

I wanted to make a part II to my merman & sailor print from last year (image 4), but of course a million things ended up going wrong and I feel like I was only barely able to salvage it. The acid was weaker than usual this time I guess because my paler aquatint shades didn’t register at all, so I had to redo the sky with drypoint and it ended up a lot different than what I was planning :/
So I just finished my 500th rewatch of the first season of true detective, and I really want some more of that atmosphere, but ideally queer.
Examples of books in this genre that I loved: summer sons by lee mandelo and the bayou by arden powell.
Finally watched the pitt and fell in love with the show so much, and especially Robby himself!
The design is art nouveau inspired, based on the season 1 rooftop scenes, but I wanted to give it a feeling of optimism. Not sure when I’ll have time for this but I would eventually like to make a matching print of Abbot with dusk/nighttime colours as a sort of day shift vs night shift diptych.
I’ve been super obsessed with the pitt the past few weeks and had to get it out of my system, hence lino prints!

If anyone is interested in getting a print, I have them here: https://rejka.bigcartel.com - they are carved and printed by myself by hand.
Intaglio print of a little guy in a bottle, based on a photograph by midcentury gay photographer Bob Mizer. Wanted to make something small as a break between larger prints and I figured that the reflections on glass would look pretty cool!
