I have decided to focus my vermin theme mainly on rats. I feel that these are the most misunderstood little animals of all. I want to give these infamous, apparently disgusting, creatures a new identity to show them as the cute, clean, intelligent, social, friendly critters they are. they have such a bad reputation, but i see them as cute little furry things. in my illustrations/prints i want to give them character. in my group crit someone said they like my fox print the best because you can't see the eyes and it distances themselves from the creature, but i don't want to do this, i want people to learn about them and to see them in a different light. i know from experience how people react when they hear the word rat. when i say i have pet rats they cringe and say it's disgusting and say that i should step on them and kill them, which is hurtful and nasty to someone who cares for all animals. i'm sure that anyone who kills or harms any animal for sport or fun is evil.
objectives
- three separate drypoints (rats - illustrative)
- three separate lino cuttings
- start another ratty soapstone
