I think you actually have to get people to carve that into a wood block and make prints with ink to do that.
j/k I don't know of any filters that do that.

haha. yeah, i was going to make wood prints out of all of the images, but the client didn't seem to happy with the hours it would take. :)
thanks firemind!
it looks like that is going to work.
but if anyone has any other ideas, i'd love to hear em.thanks again!

pen and paper.

if i could, i would.
i would much rather do things by hand, but the images need to be of actual people, and we have limited time to do it.

that lil app looks decent if you are in a crunch.
i used to have to teach a printmaking workshop, and if you DID have time, you can take a woodblock or linoleum covered block (you can buy at art stores) and then xerox the picture.
take acetone (or fingernail polish remover) and put it on a cloth or sponge, put the xerox face down on the block and secure it with tape or something and then rub the back of the xerox until the acetone dries off the paper. do put too much acetone on it though or the ink will just float off.
then you have the mirror image and can go "hog wild" as some folks in "these here parts" would say.
and i think i just wasted my time and your time by writing and making you read this.
so aaaaaaaaaaaaanyway. the weather here was nice today.

no actually, you didn't waste my time. i would love to do that sometime on my own.

haha, i am not a great relief printer (woodblock / linocut) but i can etch like a motherfucker. heheh.
i was pretty decent with etching techniques. drypoint, aquatint, etching engraving. that was my area of specialty.
never got into lithography very deeply.unfortunatly etching/engravings arent really feasible if you dont have a press.
but with relief printing, you can do it anywhere really. you really need a brayer to get the ink on evenly, but you can fudge on it if you are careful and dont want a really high quality print.
take the woodblock and lay your paper on top of the inked block. then take a wooden cooking spoon (fifty cents at walmart) and start rubbing the paper gently so it doesnt move (you can tape the paper to something to keep it from shifting if you have to) then just keep rubbing in small circlular motions until you are erect... uhm... heheh... i mean satisfied that your coverage is complete. then peel the paper off and voila. you gots a print.
that is the easiest and quickest way, but you wont get really good quality or ANY consistency, but you can definitly have fun and get some interesting results.
there are better ways by far, but that way is just easy and fun. hell, email me if you ever decide to give it a try. ill be glad to get more detailed. =)
