This is a digital sketch for a woodcut print I plan to make for my animation film project - I want one shot to be a camerarecording of an actual print (or a couple of shots of a couple of prints). One of those silly ideas that will probably make everything harder.

For now you must just make do with the image. I might later write some more about the animation project.

I have been inspired by the Danish artist Palle Nielsen, who made a lot of graphic prints in this style.

James Rattray

Temple of 'Ahmed Shauh', King of Afghanistan

The current situation in Afghanistan in desperate. Posting memes found on Twitter doesn't mean anything and won't change a thing. Nothing will. But I do think about it and then I just have to go into the escapist dream world of history.

This is how the tomb of the King Aḥmad Shāh Durrānī (I know, a tautology, as shah already means king) who conquered Delhi and more or less founded modern Afghanistan, looked in 1848. The building is still there in Kandahar. James Rattray was a British Lieutenant who made a rather fascinating work with a lot of ethnographic lithographies from his own sketches. I have been looking at other pictures to see those stately mountains and even though it might be exaggerated in this it does seem that it is a beautiful city in the mountains.
