Color Experiments

Some very recent color intaglio experiments....

4 Color Separation

I quickly practiced how to screen print a 4 color separation tonight. It is FUN!! I am not used to using photographic elements in my work, so I am definitely interested in figuring out how to incorporate it into my future screen prints and lithographs.

Some Recent Illustrations for You

(screenprint)
The illustration I'm turning in has a little more text in that open space, but I rather like it like this as well.

(gouache)
I would really like to see this label on a jar in a tiny shop in Ely, Minnesota.

Intaglio

For Cody.

Intaglio

Here is an in-progress intaglio:

a sketch that might become a print

Second Intaglio

This is my second intaglio ever:

Tonight Everything Looks Amazing

A few gems in my computer's "Inspiration" folder.

Patterns

A few patterns I made last semester--I'll post images of the book I bound another day.

Intaglio!!

I have fallen in love with intaglio. <3 <3

Here is my first attempt, after one hardground etch, and two aquatint layers:

Final Litho

Here is a sneak peek of my final litho project, which consists of 26 objects hidden away in a drawer in my kitchen. I am going to stretch them out across a wall, in order from largest object (a dish cloth) to smallest (a button).

Lithograph

Here is a lithograph I made a few weeks ago.

will this be thanksgiving?

Studies

Here are some studies I made recently for my mixed media/color drawing class. ((Acrylic, colored pencil, vellum.)) I can't stop using pale yellow and grey!

Collages

Here are some collages I made a month or so ago in my mixed media drawing class based on a still life.

What'd you get at the book sale???

Since my computer is temporarily dead, the internet isn't always around. This has actually been beneficial because I have to force myself to use other sources for color and project inspiration. It is so refreshing to actually page through books and magazines, tear things out and flip page after page. Sometimes it seems like the internet is just too easy.

Here are just a few amazing things that I found in books:

A Drawing

Here is an in-progress drawing I have been working on:

It is 30x40 inches, acrylic, charcoal, and colored pencil so far.

Lithography

Here are my first lithographs ever:


On the second one, I am going to make it into a two color print. I am thinking strange pastels.

Colors

I have been thinking about color schemes a lot lately, perhaps because I am starting my first color litho assignment and working on my drawing midterm. Colour Lovers is a good site to get some palette ideas.
Here is the palette for my current mixed media drawing:


kind of autumn-ish.

was lying underneath my bed:

Codex Seraphinianus

The Codex Seraphinianus is a book written and illustrated by the Italian architect and industrial designer Luigi Serafini during thirty months, from 1976 to 1978.[1] The book is approximately 360 pages long (depending on edition), and appears to be a visual encyclopedia of an unknown world, written in one of its languages, a thus-far uneciphered alphabetic writing.

I just checked this out from interlibrary loan, and I am really really excited to look through it. I love the idea creating specimen drawings and imagined/impossible science.
Here is a flickr set with practically every page. It is really worth looking at:

Inspiration

Hi, I'm here.

hi.
here is my digital sketchbook, vault for wonderful finds, and place to put the work I am currently doing. Thanks for looking.
