Morrisville Cartoon II

Copy, white-out, and ball point pen

6"x8"

I cut and pasted a copy of this image, as the original was 6.5x10 inches and I had a 6x8 block I wanted to use. The condensed image is a little tighter than the original and less centralized.

Should transfer it to the block tonight and start carving tomorrow.

Drypoint Ghost

7"x5"

In-person, this print is a lot more interesting than what you can see her online. There is this subtle color that came from the monotype plate that has that feel you get when you stand in a field with snow blowing all around.

Drypoint with Monotype

7"x5"

This print did not come out 100% so I decided to pull a ghost print (above). In-person, the ghost print is the stronger of the two, but there are some parts of this print that came out okay.

Failed Rorchach II

Monotype

5"x7"

This may be the better of the two prints and might be the one to get some watercolor. It is a shame that these did not line up perfect. Unfortunately, I rushed things a bit and did not get it to pull the way I intended.

Monotype

5"x7"

This is the first of two prints that I pulled together, but the registration was off and they do not line up the way I wanted. In the end, both prints are a little week. I may take them apart (cut the paper) and hand-watercolor one of the two.

Plainfield, State II

Two-plate Drypoint

4"x6"

Pulled state two of this print with a second color during my class. It was at the end of the session and I was rushing. The paper was too wet. It would have printed fine if I was a little more patient.
