And it made for more fun for me.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So, this version of the Black Knight (also known as Sir Percy of Scandia) is not the same as the Marvel Comics version. This guy was an ancestor of the later Marvel character and this Black Knight, although created by Stan Lee and Joe Maneely, made his first appearance for Atlas Comics, which was a precursor of Marvel. I used the Joe Maneely design as requested. It was lotsa fun using all that ink! </div><br /><p></p>Brucehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07758435535704579984noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-353297950590070949.post-38969571193320820622024-02-18T19:37:00.005-05:002024-02-18T19:37:45.125-05:00Hammerhead Woodblock Print<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh9SFd7xbl51IwaEWuVngs6WTEK6W9IESlgGGgkc5kVJw60mH3zEg03UsEDtM6guGQMc2ua9pTgPsricDb6BfXjjpBhhP35N-BnPJMLhLCFh0twzw5ijd7bJIkdK7pEVncrhlcY3SdOzFm47bWAz-sIc2HNRO7FtYaHyC9rJz3tkEBYWdYrdVNP9JPV2s5/s1256/HammerheadPrint-copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="977" data-original-width="1256" height="249" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh9SFd7xbl51IwaEWuVngs6WTEK6W9IESlgGGgkc5kVJw60mH3zEg03UsEDtM6guGQMc2ua9pTgPsricDb6BfXjjpBhhP35N-BnPJMLhLCFh0twzw5ijd7bJIkdK7pEVncrhlcY3SdOzFm47bWAz-sIc2HNRO7FtYaHyC9rJz3tkEBYWdYrdVNP9JPV2s5/s320/HammerheadPrint-copy.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">10x13</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">print w/sumi ink</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">A couple of weeks ago, I finished up a three week course in Japanese Woodblock Engraving with instructor <a href="https://www.dswps.org/nobuko-yamasaki">Nobuko Yamasaki.</a> This here print above is my inaugural woodblock print.
