Better late than never part 3

Ok, this is the last entry for the better late than never postings. I have officially begun to work this Blog!! Yaay! This is one of my most recent prints. Also experimental and a demonstration that I did for my students on Pressure printing with the letterpress printer. THE VANDERCOOK!! Dun Dun Dunnnn. Anyway, I am loving the look of this. I really want to come up with a fantastic idea to use this process. I just might turn this print into a little book. First, I have to print on the other side. Back to work!

Better late than never part 2

This is a Paper Lithograph of a photograph that I took while in Greece. It's of a reliquary compartment in this beautiful cemetery. I have used these images before and will continue. Paper Lithography is one of my favorite alternative printmaking processes. It utilizes the same theory of oil and water don't mix that traditional lithography uses. I love it. It's so immediate and the image quality is exactly how I like my images to look. Textural.

Better late than never right?

OK, so yeah yeah, March, blah blah. Well you know what. Life happens. I wanted to start this project because I want to begin making more art. Don't get me wrong, I make things all of the time, but I really wanted to embark upon a new adventure in making. So here we go...I am a bit late with the posts but I have 3 things to show. The first is an experimental print that I made with my friend and Colleague James. He is really into Spray painting his prints along with using traditional lithography. He suggested that we try this with Cyanotype. Here is my result. Purely a test. I used some cut paper and spray painted the eyes, nose and mouth with a bit of extra yellow around the edges. It's ok. I don't love it, but it has some potential for other applications of the spray paint with this medium. This was made in middle March.
