Flying Tofu





This is my current project, a sketch of my current project at any rate. It's something that started at a corporate meeting or something like that (big suprise). I am doing a painting of it. I'll post my progress on it later this week. It involves taking photos, loading them, blah, blah, blah.

My idea is to do Tofu in his airplane on a large horizontal canvas. The little things dropping out of the bomber doors are his little rubber fishy toys. They will not be a part of the main canvas, but rather there will be three fishies on their own small, probably square canvas under the main painting, as if they are being dropped.

Printing

Work on the Were-Fu had me stumped and I haven't touched it since I last posted. Instead I've just been working on what ever I happen to feel like at the moment.





One of those things has been a linoleum block print of the Tofu Take Out drawing. Above are one of my better prints and the block. Carving it out was a lot of fun and was really easy to get into, except possibly the detailed parts. Those were a bit stressful. The actual printing was also fun, ink, ink, ink... print, print, print.

Next I'd like to do red ink on the "Tofu the Dog" words and black on the rest. I also want to get some fabric inks to do prints on shirts. I just need to dig through my laundry and find some shirts to slap some "Tofu Take Out" on, and what color inks I'd like.
