The Taipei Story woodcuts are live!

They still need another day or two to fully cure; oil-based ink is even more of a drag in winter.

Woodcut detail
Original digital design
The final woodcut compared to the digital design is like night and day. The texture. The character of every single line. The tiny mistakes.
Also, I didn't realise quite how far my carving skill has come this year.

Taipei Story woodcut print
Printed my woodcut based on Edward Yang's Taipei Story (1985).
The parallel lines were a bit of a task, but I think it was worth the effort.

Taipei Story woodcut WIP
Carving the end of every line with a knife to get a sharper finish. It's mind numbing and taking forever, but I didn't want the curved ends you get from using a gouge.
Probably have ~100 more to carve, and then it's finished.

WIP Taipei Story woodcut
Probably the hardest part of the design to carve. I didn't use a ruler to carve these lines, as I wanted the inevitable wobbles and minor wonkiness to show in the final prints.

Taipei Story woodcut design WIP
I don't know if carving this is going to work out, but you have to keep pushing the limits of the craft to get anywhere meaningful.

WIP woodcut design from Taipei Story
I've been obsessed with this shot from Edward Yang's Taipei Story (1985) ever since I saw it. Changing a neon sign into black and white is going to give it a very different feel.
Just need to figure out how I want to detail the tubes...

Chaque fois que la nuit s’empare des lieux, les couleurs ressortent, la beauté se trouve ailleurs. Partir, ce serait trahir l’espoir de cette Taipei nocturne ; partir, ce serait refuser de croire en une aube meilleure.

Tenía una deuda pendiente con #Terrorizers de #EdwardYang antes de la sesión en el curso de @cineasiaonline.bsky.social y me he encontrado con una obra portentosa, que me ha fascinado incluso más que #TaipeiStory o #YiYi. Además, enamorado perdido de #CoraMiao. Wayne Wang, te odio y te envidio tanto
