Two New Prints

new prints

Some new prints I just pulled today. Introduced a new plate that is half the size (6x9) of the original plate (12x18.)

I am testing out the new plate in different places to see what looks good. I am pretty happy with the results of the top two prints.

The bottom two prints (6x9) are two plate prints. I used gray paper for the first time on the bottom print, with a combination of white and blue ink. The white ink did not come out as visible as wanted it to be, but is still interesting.

The red plate reuses the plate from the top two prints. I used a lot of gel to make the ink very transparent so the piece would not become to busy.

Brand New Prints

Brand New, trying out different color and paper combos.

Old Plate

This is a plate that I made last semester using hard ground line and aquatint. I decided to make a new print of this yesterday using the relief roll method.

Some new prints in some new colors, they are both two plate prints. I have been trying out different wiping styles to better bring out detail.

I haven't mastered aligning the plates perfectly, so the first one is a little off.

This is a picture I made with charcoal and colored pencil. I used the computer motherboard for inspiration on the design. This was also influenced by Alex Grey, and his depictions of the nervous system underneath the body.
