Monotype

I added a couple monotype prints to my web page. Monotypes are much like original paintings. They are one of a kind works but they use a printmaking process of working on a plate and with an etching press. There is an energy to the process that I really like. These are part of the Fire Season series but were done a couple years ago. I haven't shown anyone before now.

Etchings

Here are a few pictures from my studio as I am printing some etchings. I want a bigger studio and a bigger press but I make it happen with what I have.

I use a guide that I print with my laser printer for registration. Since the paper has to be wet other things will transfer but laser printed lines will not. I love simple solutions like that.

Here you see the paper after it has gone through the press.

And the finished print hanging up.
