I’m gonna post in list form today:

1. Hi new followers! I love you awesome ladies and gentlemen <3
2. I finished printing my edition for the Cascade Print Exchange… now to colour them! (see upper right print)
3. LOOK AT MY STONE LITHO PRINT (see lower left print) I PULLED ALSDKAF;S (but ignore the shitty inking; i was having some difficulties and it was just a proof pull hahah)
4. My studio pass to the print room expires at midnight tonight… :| (see weird/sad/anxious/generally expressive face)
5. Did I mention that I love you all?

woooooo first finished and satisfactory print of 2011! i’ll post a better picture of it probably tomorrow.

p.s. this IS lithography (my one true love <3), but not stone litho. i used the polyester plates for this, since i’m still learning the stone litho. that one is being printed on saturday :)

and another one from the midterm! it’s old and ehhh, i know. but i liked it.

“I’m A Big Kid Now!” monoprint combined with photo transfer, drypoint, letterpress, and hand embroidery. 2010.

just a print from the final.

“The Architect” linocut with chine colle and watercolour. 2010.

my polyester litho plates came in the mail today! so of course i ran right over to the print room and ran a test proof.
I. AM. SOLD.

(can’t wait to learn stone lithography!)

here’s a little something I printed yesterday :)
and here’s a detail shot!

(“Mary’s Ghost” - collage with monoprint and xerox litho. 2010)

more conjoined twins. this was my class edition!
p.s. this is my “holy shit i still have finals to study for and i’m running on 3 hours of sleep” face)

(collograph and linocut. 2010)

Did I mention that I made cards for an upcoming printmaking show I’m a part of?
Well I did. And I must say, they came out pretty awesome.
