Canceled

There were about ten prints from the edition that did not make the cut. Those were relegated to this series . . . The bright orange works well . . 

Headphones, J+C - Test Print

There are a few minor tweaks I want to make. Most noticeably carving into the CAPE COD type a bit so that it is not as bold—only some subtle marks though. Overall this one was a blast to do, I hope to print a run of 3-5 prints and then one or two passes on a few paintings. 

My longer goal is to find a way to preserve the linoleum so that it keeps long enough for me to use for a few years. Wood block would be a more stable approach, but the canvas backed linoleum gives me a malleable enough surface to burnish through onto the wooden panel paintings.

Now I'm going through my cell phone looking for the next image to make a carving out of.

Excluded

This beautiful map and 49 others got four colors screen printed on them today between 6;30am and 3:00pm. I also managed to teach three classes and chat with my advanced print making students during our studio time . . . While printing.

All four screens burned by 8 am and off to critique with the advanced layout and design class . . . 

Between 11 and 12:30 I got the first two colors pulled. And got the third lined up and registered.

Got the third and fourth done between 2 and 3 . . . It was right down to the wire. As I was cleaning my screen, the alarm on my phone that reminds me to pick up Ethan went off . . .

Taking shape

A little more

Slowly

Coming along slowing, hope to get more studio time in this week.

Aware of consequence . . .

A small edition with a band of spray paint and text over the isolated print. The type reads "aware of consequence" and there is a second set in white that says "familiar with pain" . . .
