Prints prints and more PRINTS!

Let's make a movie!

Well, got the woman herself Shannen to bounce for me, and she did some prertty impressive moves :)

Yeah BUDDY! Monoprints 4lyf :)

So yeah, tried out a monoprint. The table was scratched cause me being the eijet didn't get som acitate, so it's a tad scratchy looking but oh well, it was fun.
Used white spirits to draw out the image, it was a lot different to woodblock because it has softer edges to it and I did it in blue ink, which seems kind of transperant compared to the black ink of the woodblock.
Reall enjoyed it though, has a lovely soft and flowy kind of look to it.

And many more to come!

And we've come full circle..

So turns out I wasn't liking my idea about the puppets too much. I didn't really enjoy making them and to be honest what's the point in producing Art you dont enjoy making? So I decided to go back to my roots with Limerick Senior and try some Print, something I've always loved doing. I was a tad nervous because it had been a while since I had printed, and I'd never done a wood block before but I loved it, and I'm really happy with the result.
I went back to my Gymnastics/Trampolining ideas, and got in contact with my friend Shannen, who just happens to be an intermediate Trampolinist, and gave me a few pictures of her, which I turned into prints.
I was told that the material on the skirt was as interesting as the body movement, but I think that the body movement was as interesting so I want it to be that the two points are represented equally.

Lets see how we go..
