XLOH




My logo created in a form of a stamp. The visual language is inspired by the stamps they put on the holy bread in the greek orthodox church, and the writing on icons. I've always found them beautiful even though I'm not religious. The letters are my first name in greek (Chloe).
I will probably be using this on my business card which I need to finally make!

Unsuccesful trial portrait.

I have been told by my tutor that I'm over dependant on lino. Well, here's a trial on wood (that's a s far away to lino I managed to get) but I don't think that the outcome is that great. Even though it's soft to cut through (thanks to my new rad tools), I have very little control when I put pressure. So I am more likely to make mistakes. I mean I can always improve by being extra cautious, but thinking that I have such a huge load to do, I should do what I do best. So I have once more concluded that lino is my thing, and I will never stop carving till the day I die! Besides it's not like I haven't tried out other processes..Lithography suits my hand very much as well, but it's exremely time consuming, expensive and most importantly college is the only place I can do it in!

LOVE * PEACE * LINO
