spotted heart edition - fav 2008
Originally uploaded by anongrrl
i completed these prints for my fine art valentine 2008. i do this swap in February, and 2008 is year five for this exchange. to learn more about it, visit my call to artists.
4 color FAV (fine art valentine) suicide reduction print. this means that one block was used for all the color runs, and slowly carved down until the only thing remaining is the carve from the last layer. it also means these exact prints can never be duplicated past the original edition of 22.
this was made with three ink impressions. the first impression was orange and yellow-orange applied at the same time to a square block then pressed, then i carved it down a little, added some lines, and did a light brown striped thingie, then i carved it down to a heart, carved out some dots, and printed the red heart.
materials: all night media inks and color box inks, as well as speedball carving block (the yucky white kind i don't like, but happened to have around--i couldn't find my pink speedycut.) they are printed on white cardstock. i will next be signing and numbering them!
you can see a detail of this print on my flickr photostream.
