I absolutely loved Printmaking!!! We were given such freedom to explore and create, make mistakes, and try to produce interesting work in this fabulous new medium! Printmaking has opened up endless possibilities, and a world of potential, just waiting for me!This is a "Silkscreen" of John, Acrylic Ink on paper, 18"x 24". The PROCESS was amazing! From editing the photograph in Photo Shop, printing the image on to ACETATE, burning that image on to the SILK SCREEN, then learning to apply the ACRYLIC INK to the screen . . . just soooo. After hundreds of trys, I got a handful of nice prints!!! It is tougher than it looks!!!
This image is a two color POLYESTER LITHOGRAPH of Rikiya on Paper, 14"x 17". I did a line drawing with a sharpie on a frosted polyester, applied an oil based ink by roller, layed paper on top of the image, then HAND CRANKED the image through a PRESS! This image was an earlier experimental Four Color MONO PRINT on Paper, 18"x 24". Floor Wax is applied to a frosted polyester sheet, oil ink is rolled on to the sheet, paper placed over the inked image, then HAND CRANKED THROUGH THAT PRESS! The process is repeated over with each color and image. The possibilities are endless!
