Hi everyone,
For this month's Art Club theme which was Quinten Tarantino, I wanted to make something that addressed Tarantino's foot fetish. Have you ever noticed how many shots of feet there are in his films? No? Well there are! I quite like drawing feet too, so I did some ink drawings of a few different feet to start this project. I feel he has a particular affinity for Uma Thurman's feet, which I decided to feature in my print, from the film Kill Bill.
This artwork was a little experiment in moving away from the size number 1 lino cutting tool - and venturing out into cutting tool number 5 - a slightly bigger and chunkier tool. I tried it and I'm not sure I really like it....but at least I tried it! (I know this sounds incredibly pedantic!)
Hope you like, Gillian
