For my latest edition in my printmaking class I choose to do a lino self portrait. Until know I haven't really drawn or printed something of myself and I thought this would be the perfect week for it. This was probably the fastest edition that i have made to date. I got the picture drawn on the lino on Wednesday night and on Thursday I carved it out and began printing!
My favorite thing about this is the background and how it make the print ten times better. I also really like how my hair turned out. So far I have about 7 or 8 prints made and I will finish up printing on Monday.
Im really sad that its the end of the year because that means that I'll be done with printmaking. I hope that I can at least draw out these last few weeks and make at least one more edition!

I really enjoy this piece, it shows not only excelent craftmanship but also the personality that you carry with you on a daily basis.
ReplyDeleteI am most impressed with your innovation. Mixing and matching background & foregrounds, layering and changing colors gives you nearly unlimited possibilities. I can really see you selling these online & putting yourself through college. Excellent work...and work ethic.
