Emu Man Is Not Pleased, I guess?

I have a bunch of prints to post! But I’m going to draw them out over a while cuz I can.

I took a printmaking mini-elective in my foundations year and I enjoyed a lot of things about it. (At least, about plexi monotyping.) I’d been waiting to take another printmaking elective and this semester one came up called “Printmaking in the Digital Era.” As a geek, I thought that sounded awesome. And it is.

Our first assignment was to make 10 prints starting with found imagery or our own imagery printed out digitally, and then printed on using stencils, xerox transfers, etc.

This is one of my favorites. Really simple- I found an image of some dude in a magazine, cut it out and scanned it in. Then I took an old illustration and digitally manipulated it so it fit in .. more or less seamlessly. I printed that out on an inkjet printer, and then pretty much just put yellow stripes on it. I like yellow stripes.

It’s simple, but it makes me smile. The other prints went in some fairly different directions, so stay tuned and check ‘em out! (Especially if you like robots. Just trust me on that.)
