Lioness Experiment

For this project the lion was rendered 4 times with graphite, colored pencils and ink. The images were then manipulated in photoshop, sometimes alone, sometimes in combination, using digital effects to come up with many different looks and moods.

The year I started running I had entered several community races so I would have a goal to work toward. At the Esso Mile I placed 1st in my age group.

Snow Leopard Print Snow Leopard (left) Reduction Print
Reduction Prints take a little bit of planning because the same image is printed 3 or 4 times and each time a little more of the original printing block is carved away. Here the first run was done with pink. The block was carved away anywhere I wanted to leave white. With the second run, yellow was over the pink. Anywhere I wanted the pink to remain was carved away from the original block. The last run was printed with black over top of the pink and yellow. Anywhere I wanted the yellow to remain was carved away from the original block.
To give the snow leopard a more intense stare I gave the cat the eyes of a bush baby. These nocturnal primates have very large irises ideal for seeing better in the dark.
Cats get a similar expression but it usually means they are crazed with the instinct to hunt.
