One thing I especially love about printmaking is getting to play with the image during the printing process – even if its something as simple as switching out colors. This is a 3 color photo litho done with Photopolymer plates. The three layers were first hand drawn on mylar then transferred onto the plates in an exposure unit.. Here are just a few of the many variations:
First, the complete 3 color litho in the originally intended colors:
Just one plate:
Two plates (pink and blue):
Geekadelphia just posted about HOOT (the literary magazine on postcard). They included an image of the postcard I designed for HOOT’s May issue- check out the post!
And, while going back in time to subscribe to HOOT is worthy of the Tardis (as Geekadelphia implies), you can just get all of their back issues here (their Etsy shop) and subscribe in time to receive July’s issue in the mail! Save the Tardis for something else- like witnessing Socrates drinking his hemlock, meeting Sitting Bull, or jumping to the future to find out what the Singularity is all about.

Here are a few more black & white drawings for your viewing pleasure:
First, let me say HAPPY FATHERS DAY to all the dads out there.
Second, which version do you like better?
Option 1:
Option 2:

My wonderful sister, Amira, has asked me to scan a few of my old drawings for some unspecified project of hers that she won’t tell me about. So, I’ve dug into the depths of my giant overflowing folder of drawings (that I really ought to devise a safer storage method for) and begun scanning some of her old favorites. I thought I’d share a few here:
This is the 4th addition to my Etsy Shop!
The image is a litho based on a drawing I did a few years back that has been very popular- I hope you like it!
Two more 4 x 6″ postcards coming soon to my shop:
