High peak
A single steep peak in dense ballpoint hatching, with clouds and a stand of pines.
Mountain elements
8 mountains in 26 versions, cut out of their paper as transparent PNGs, 1000px wide. Each comes in the blue it was drawn in, cobalt and black. The linocut also has lighter blues and an SVG. Pen and brush drawings are PNG only, because tracing loses their fine hatching and wash. Draft sources: not yet cleared for public use.

Small peak
A compact peak in quick violet-blue ballpoint strokes. Holds up at small sizes.
Grid peak
A tall peak above a band of mist, in fine lines. The grid paper behind it is removed and the base fades out softly.
Contour range
A whole range of peaks in pen, with contour lines drifting through the sky. Busy, so best large or as a background.
1934 ridge
A ridge sketched on the spot in parallel hatching, dated 26 September 1934. The handwritten note is removed.
Brush ridge
A loose ridge in bold brush strokes and watery wash. The paler wash stays semi-transparent, so the ground shows through it.
Peaks and waves
Jagged peaks over curling waves, a bold linocut. Ink only: the sky and the map it was printed on are removed. The lighter blues suit pale grounds and backgrounds.
Peaks and waves on a map
The same linocut keeping the old map inside the mountains; only the sky is removed. The black is the original print.
