I am about to do my first lithograph where I carve some designs into a wooden type material and use it to make a crazy cool textureized background.
Lithograph means stone picture, lith meaning stone as in monolith or neolithic and graph meaning writing or picture as in graphic or telegraph. The phrase you're looking for is woodcut.
Drat! Ive never cared much for using the exact terms for art anyhow because I focus on the creative elements rather than going by the rule book. Well thanks for clearing that up.

youve got some cool stuff in here... It would be nice to have the proportions of the works.
You mean the originals? I am selling them in an auction... you can bet a small amount if you want lmao.
I think I meant proportions as in size? How big are the originals?
The originals are usually about three times the size of a spread out hand. The girl one is 1200 by 1600 and the night at the church is 1200 by 1600 as well.

For todays pic, I am posting an experimental one that took me three weeks to do. It is called an etching monoprint. First I sketched the picture on a piece of paper and put it behind a clear plastic plate. Then i got an etching tool and traced the sketch, embedding lines into the platstic. The I got a large amount of brown etching ink and rolled it all over the plastic plate. I removed the ink in a certain way to make it how I wanted it. Then I placed the plate on a press and forced everything onto a piece of monoprint paper. I repeated this process three times to make it light, dark, and then very dark. This was originally A JOKE because I knew I sucked at drawing these sort of things, but I laugh every time I look at it and think it actually looks kind of cool. So enjoy it :P
Time: 2 - 3 weeks.
