I feel a little strange posting my own work, but I wanted to share it with you. Hope that is ok.
I use birch plywood and stains as a medium and I cut, sand and stain each piece by hand.
I have always been a fan of Lichtenstein and in an almost tongue-in-cheek fashion I wondered if I could take one of his pieces and recreate it in another medium. Similar to how he took comic strips and repositioned it as lithography, etc. Since that first piece I have been doing original work. It all has that hard-edged graphic style, but there is no shading when it comes to this technique with the wood stains.
Here is one piece with a couple of detail shots. I would be happy to post more work if anyone is interested. Feedback is always welcome.
