Adam & Eve



Adam, originally uploaded by Alé Mercado.

This is my first attempt to woodcutting.
Steven Aylin was really good and took me on a crash course on woodcutting yesterday. It was truly amazing. It was like being a monk a thousand years ago, carving something forbidden. Such satisfying feeling when the ink touched the plates!

My fingers are still numb and dirty… That doesn’t happen with a digital tablet.
