Deer Dude
By Leah Maxwell
Subject Matter: My print is of a visual representation of a deer. I really like the way deers look and I added my own designs to him to look cooler as a print. This print represents Diego Austin because it’s a deer. This is important to me because Diego is dear to me haha. I used a deer to represent dear and he looked cool cause Diego looks cool.
Symbolism: I made the designs make the deer look almost spiritual because feelings are kinda spiritual and not tangent. I used red and blue because they contrast and I thought it would compliment the contrast of the deer. It also kinda looks like that one fire scene in bambi. It’s a chill print with chill colors.
Process: I transfered my image that I drew onto the block with mod podge and then I used that to help me carve the image out on the block. I made the deer face one way because when I would make the print it would face the other way. I made the lines like I did because I got inspiration from example pieces and my own style on paper. Usually when I'm shading something I've made on paper I use small lines but with this it was harder to make small lines. I wanted to fill up space so keeping in the same way as the spiritual aspect I made lined radiating off the deer.
