Loki // September Printmaking Pals

For September, I chose the trickster god found in Norse mythology—Loki and his ability to shapeshift from a fish, a mare, and a fly!

Group picture featuring all three prints spread in a fan-like formation. All three prints feature the same body printed, but the three have different coloured heads.

To highlight this shapeshifting ability, I chose to design one block for the body, but create three separate blocks with the three different animal forms all in their own individual colour. I thought it would be more visually striking to only have the heads coloured differently from the bodies vs printing bodies and the heads their respective, similar colours.

This Loki print features the Fish headed version of Loki done with a turquoise colour for the head while the body remains printed in black.

This Loki print features the Mare headed version of Loki done with a red colour for the head while the body remains printed in black.

This Loki print features the Fly headed version of Loki done with a purple colour for the head while the body remains printed in black.

The process post for this print is available to my patrons of all tiers over on my Patreon page!
