The block of squares that I used for these prints is, as usual, a lot larger than the prints I usually do. That way I can get a lot of variety from the same block of wood and I only sort of have to worry about composition when I am carving. I have another block of pure pattern in the works, but this one is very large and I might not get to finishing it for awhile.

I like these. They look like cityscapes -- both from the front and from above. Very interesting. Lots of movement.
Don't be in too much of a hurry to discount these new style of prints. Often times when doing a significant change to one's style, it is a natural reaction to not like them simply because they are so different, and one hasn't had time to spend with them. Give it a while, and then come back to them.
I am actually really happy with these prints. I didn't mean to give the impression that I am not. I guess I am just constantly feeling a bit frustrated wanting to push myself more. I don't think I have been challenging myself enough.
I just had some portrait work come in after a long break from that. Maybe that will be the challenge that I need. Something different.
