Printmaking in the Studio all Weekend

2010, Uncategorized / /

I am producing lots of Monotype prints and some are even good. The Challenge to walk and gather objects to print with each day has been a good one. I have been using the Daniel Smith water soluable inks. I really like the rich color that they produce. The prints have been drying in a few days which is pretty good too.

I found a build your own etching press website. I ordered the plans. I am lucky to have my studio in a machine shop. We will see how it goes with pricing the cost of materials.

I was able to mat and frame two fun gelatin Monotype prints for the Newburyport Art Associations Fall Members Show. I will drop them off tomorrow, and hope that they get into the show.

Monotype Prints – Making Discoveries

2010, mixed media printmaking / /

Finding treasures and inspiration in my walks around campus. The rain has not kept me inside. I found some new ways to lay down the ink in my monotype prints on the gelatin plate. After the original print and before I remove the stencils I roughly ink the plate again. This allows for the details of the ghost and the dark darks of fresh ink. During my computer time today I came across the Dress Project, http://www.virginiafitzgerald.blogspot.com/. Fun, interesting and inspiring.

Time in the Studio. Time to create. Time alone. I find myself at this keyboard alot. I tend to make myself bad and wrong for that because it means I am not printing, drawing or otherwise creating. But I am marketing and learning. Humm? today I came across another great video. This one is at the MOMA channel and is a talk by the artist Swoon. If you are interested check it out @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBUM_F-mfcI I did come up with some new prints in the last few days. I am finding inspiration on my daily walk and working those found objects into some new prints. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klM08NAnPZs Check out a few of them.
