Chris Register’s Sabbatical

Jan.–Aug., 2009

Henry Kissinger. This took an inordinate amount of time to engrave (boo-hoo, right?) but it was absolutely minimal in corrections or reworking. I spent last weekend printing all the Scoundrels, and I realized the sloppy engraving I did two years ago. Made a dummy box for the boxed sets, which turned out well, but is very difficult to do right.

Welcome

I thought I would keep this blog diary of my work as I embark upon an 8-month sabbatical working on relief engraving and painting. I realize it is a bit self-centered to post this to the world, but it may be worthwhile capturing my work, and making a record of my progress.

About Me

Chris Register
In the Spring of 2009, I will be on sabbatical, working on paintings and relief engravings. Relief engraving is the "new" wood engraving—in that the traditional wood for engraving, Boxwood,is so scarce and expensive that it has been replaced with Resingrave, a synthetic resin which carves like wood at a much reduced cost, and sizes that can be larger than traditional wood engraving. My work will be on a series of portraits of historical scoundrels—individuals who have shown incredible industry and despotism within their lifetimes.
