Exoplanet Hubble photo inspired print project for iPod covers

This time of year, every year, it is my tradition to make a lino cut. I have printed t-shirts, made t-shirts, printed pillow slips and made covered photo albums over the years.

This year I found a pattern for iPod covers. So I'm giving it a go.

I'm planning to make two patterns this year. I found this image of an exoplanet taken by the Hubble Telescope. It reminded me of this image called The Explosion:

Loved Roy Lichtenstein since high school art class - long time.

Of course, a lino cut doesn't print out anything like this. And I wanted a pixelated effect.

Next year I will need to invest in a new set of colours. Might give it another go.

Will post the final iPod cover when I get done.

Wish I was in Washington for the Lichtenstein retrospective.
