Printing Victor.
After a day of taking proof prints and tweaking the engraving, we have finally arrived at the finished print - the first sketches that attempted to capture his likeness begun in mid July and this finished print was taken at the end of September - quite an epic!

Once the block was drawn up the engraving began.
The concept was to place him surrounded by icons that represents him; his cottage in Steyning, nearby Chanctonbury Ring, Dyonisi and Pan his twin stars in his pursuit of the occult. The block was engraved over a period of just over two weeks.

Once I had finished the composition of the piece I sized and traced the sketch onto the wood block.
Dionysis is seen with an unravelling a scroll with one of Vickbirds most beloved poems on it 'Downwood'. I've based the lettering the the font Victor used in all of the Vine Press books.

Alongside the work on the composition of Victor, all the details that will sit around him needed study too, Dionysis on further research is more often clean shaven, fluetests fingers are tricky and a sketch of Vine Cottage in Steyning where he and his wife Kathleen Goddard set up Vine Press.
