Drypoint versus Woodcut

Can you tell me what the difference is between a print done in drypoint versus a woodcut?

Two JJ Lankes woodcuts

Here’s a couple of woodcuts by JJ Lankes. Even though they aren’t wood engravings, his work does have the feel of an engraving rather than plank grain work.

He was born in Buffalo, New York in 1884. In his youth he trained and worked as a draughtsman before going on to study art at the Art Student’s League of Buffalo and the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.

Where can I find a woodcut engraved by J. Lankes of an original drawing of Charles Burchfield signed for sale?

Fractal Grafitti

The image above is called Undulating Spirits. I’ve been working on it for awhile because of a renewed interest in fractal geometry. In this case I projected some fractal shapes onto a grungy surface. Fractals of course are shapes that repeat themselves on different scales to make up a whole shape. They can be found in nature such as the fern leaf or can be generated using fancy algorithms discovered by Benoit Mandelbrot, the father of fractal geometry.

Artspeak!

A continuum. The point at which deliberate order and reactive composition come together. The place where aestheticism meets spontaneous textural muscularity.

Charged by relational and discordant influences and polarities, the thrust is to pool these diverse energies and disciplines to build up and dismantle them at will thereby creating a new relationship between them. Art has a design.

Looking for a signature translation on Japanese woodblock print.

I need to know who the artist is. Can you help find a resource?

Do you need to be a good drawer to go into printmaking?

I’m not a terrible drawer, I’m moderate but is that going to matter much if I take a printmaking course in college?

Looking for a unique way to show my monotype prints.

I am in an intro printmaking class in college and want to “WOW” my colleagues. I would like to hang my prints in a non traditional way and need some inspiration. I am a ceramic major, so I wouldn’t mind incorporating ceramic or found objects either just to make it more interesting.
