Print Making
Baby Spider
Pastel Paper, Oil Based Ink, Sticker Paper, Acrylic Ink
8"x8", 2024
​
This piece is a two-toned intaglio print inspired by my young niece. She has a tendency to call animals 'babies' when they are scarier animals or large animals to help her to be less scared.
​
The paper used in this piece is a thinner colored pastel paper that was then printed with a copper plate with dark brown and red-orange ink. The stickers are a simple screen-print that are peeled and stuck on top.
Milk Frog
Colored Paper, Oil Based Ink
8"x8", 2023
​
The simple meaning behind this piece is just a pun on the name of milk frogs, he's just a milk frog on a carton of milk!
This piece is a photo-lithography print. Using a photo-litho plate that is sensitive to light I exposed a printed image using an exposure unit. After washing the plate it is then prepped for printing where it is rolled up multiple times like a traditional lithographic print before run through a press to be printed onto paper.
