New Prints

Took an awesome intro to printmaking class this semester. Here are some of my paints. Our first project was a linoleum cut. I did a print based on a Aesop fable. Printed on Japanese rice papers.

"Fawn and his Mother" Linoleum print '13

Our next two projects were copper plate etchings. We started with a drypoint etching. I made a lovely little victorian wedding portrait of my friends cat and mine. For our second etching we used acid to burn our copper plates. I again did a illustration based off another Aesop fable. Printed on Rives BFK.

"Wedding Portrait" Etching '13

"Stag and the Vine" Etching '13

Our next printing project was mono type prints. I did a collection of studies of burlesque and pinups. Each is one of a kind (mono) and can't be recreated. Printed on Rives BFK

"Vixen" Monoprint '13

 Our final assignment was silk screen prints. I did an illustration on two of my favorite smugglers. Printed on French Paper.

"94" Silk Screen '13

I also took the first class being offered in the new letter press studio this year. We worked on universal Vandercook printing press, using set type and linoleum cuts. Our final project was to create a unique broadside self promotion. Printed on French Paper.
