Apparent . . .

Two fresh editions of the same print, one with two colors and one edition with the final color.


Above is the single color edition. 


The two color print has a subtle radial gradient and a large letterforms in full intensity. I was thinking that this might capture the magic of some of the test prints.



Here is a detail of a test print over one of my student's prints. His technique / aesthetic and mine are quite different, but they compliment each other quite nicely.

Paint_Print


Finally took a pass at printing on top of one of the large paintings. Some of the panel seams and random paint drips resulted in sporadic patches where the ink did not transfer. Overall the result was appealing enough to keep experimenting with it. Printing on the painting got me thinking about mixing and moving paint around . . . it's been almost a year since I picked up a brush!

Family Dinner Pano Print






The complexity of this one might have proven to be too much. While certain aspects of the composition and rendering work, other areas are far too ambiguous to read well. Maybe that's okay. The sketchbook crops are interesting to me, I'd like the entire print to be as well. Might go back in and carve more on this one.
