Escape!
"Escape!" 8" x 10", mixed media monotype (ink and color pencil), 2011.
After my disastrous last attempt at a monotype, I decided to do a quick, smaller one to make sure that I could create an image without having the paper self-destruct. I based it on a detail from a Warrington Colescott print, but hopefully I've changed it enough to have it stand on it's own. I like using the monotype process to sort of do a rough color sketch of an image, and then refine it by doing additional drawing by hand afterwards. It's a way to keep things loose, which isn't really the first word you'd use to describe printmaking in general. Hope you enjoy...
