Etsy Shop – New Print
I’ve added a new Fine Art Print, “Mandala,” to my Etsy shop:
Limited Edition Giclee Print of an original pen & ink drawing.
Self Portrait
Here’s a self portrait I’ve been working on to go along with my bio/about page. The black and white version is the original, then I colorized it and added my drawing from a few days ago to the background on photoshop. What do you think?
I used black pen, sumi ink, and white conte crayon.
new drawing
Just finished a new drawing..
Here it is hand colored:
And here is the pre-colored black & white version:
I also played around with the color a bit on photoshop and made these two simple variations (among others):
enjoy!
owl iphone case
Remember the owl drawing I did a few weeks back? Well, my wonderful sister (Amira) made it into an iphone case for me!
pop-ups and anniversaries
Today we’re celebrating my parents’ 32nd wedding anniversary- I didn’t make them a card this year, but I thought I’d share some old ones..
I made this pop-up card for their 24th. It was pretty much my first and last stab at paper cutting, which I’d love to do more of, but would need the proper tools and a whole set of skills I don’t yet have.
This next card may have been an anniversary card or for something else- all i know is that it was for my parents, so I guess it fits with this post..
Also mildly related- we’re having a party at our house this evening and we used my postcards as invitations.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!!
theme & variations
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):
HOOT written up by Geekadelphia
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.
Hand Colored Lithograph
I added some color to one of my black and white lithos:
Here’s the original:
I think I’ll do a few other variations sometime soon.
a few more black & white drawings
Thanks everyone for the feedback on my last drawing. I’m still undecided, but it seems the majority of you like option 2, the one with a purple/pink background, so i’m adding that one to my gallery.
Here are a few more black & white drawings for your viewing pleasure:
