Back at it...

After a little hiatus, I had some time to work on some prints. I've set up a little printmaking triage in my house, which has been working okay. It would be great to have access to some printing or ceramics equipment, but I have been working with what I have. It's been good to get back to work and create some prints for the 30th Annual Alma College Statewide Print Competition.

This is the print that I like best. The title is Drowned Sheep and it is a mix of inkjet iron-on transfers, relief printing, and rubber stamping. The dimensions are 16 x 22. These are two pieces of paper layered on top of each other. I really think this gets back to what I was doing before and has a good mix of different elements.

I did part of this piece in undergrad, but never finished it, so I decided to work with it more and put some content into it that resonated with my current situation. The title is Human Resources and it is solvent transfer, inkjet iron-on transfer, rubber stamp, and prismacolor. This one is 24 x 18. This isn't my greatest piece, but I do think it turned out alright.

These are my lithophane flashlights again, I just wanted to put a better/more professional looking picture of them on my blog.
