February 20, 2024

We drew and printed at Sir Henry Morales' studio in Albuquerque:






Leonardo.AI (Diffusion XL/Leonardo Style/.30 strength)
prompt: "Linocut of a woman lying down
 in the style of Leopoldo Mendez"









PRINTS

Virgil, Ellie and Henry put their woodblocks together, making more progress on the BIG INK print:

All three woodblocks
together again


Virgil draws at the border
of his woodblock and Ellie's woodblock


Virgil made a lot of cutting progress


Ellie included footprints of a Terror Bird, so I generated one in 3D with Genie:

I uploaded the Terror Bird GLB file above into the <model-viewer> WebAR  program online, and the AR Terror bird showed up on everyone's smart phone at Quelab.  I was worried that it wouldn't, as I had first reduced the file size of the GLB file with Optimize GLB, and that smaller file would not open in "3D Viewer" in Windows 10 (and certain other programs like older versions of Blender and "Online 3D Viewer).

Ellie brought in her etchings that she is making in a CNM class:

LEGO PRINTS

Brian from Quelab, who made a LEGO PRESS, gave me some LEGO BITS, which we used to make a LEGO PRINT:



I loosened the big nut on the ABUSA adjustable tortilla press to accommodate the thicker LEGO plate, and that worked perfectly:

adjusted nicely to accommodate the LEGO plate




First pass


Henry rearranged the bits 
and inked them with a different color


Then we printed a second color
to make an abstract print


Brian sent me these links, to order larger flat pieces to make LEGO prints:
