Printed up my completed lino print for the poem Kamikaze. I made it a jigsaw linocut so I could print smaller sections and add new elements in the future. I printed in black, blue/green and an olive green.
Yes was quite selective of the imagery from the poem. I printed another one is a khaki, which looked quite good. I may try printing different blocks different colours next.
Thanks. Rebekah chose the poem for me as it was one she was revising for her GCSE"s. There were lots of images, I also liked the description of the salt soaked boat. But I quite glossed over the main aim of the poem in the end!
I did not know this poem so looked it up and returned to your interpretation of it.The poem was very strong and moving as is your image.Very professional,liked the different sized fish and strong colour.No wonder you like lino cutting.Expect to see you on next series of BBC Home is where the art is!
I like the green one best, very sharp and much more cheerful than the poem!
Yes the top flows.better into each other. Where as the bottom is a bit static.
Lovely illustration. I really like the crab and the fish swimming off into the distance.

Really like the way you have visually interpreted this poem.
