I'm starting with this piece because it is where I've been going with my work this summer. It's a three-color monotype. I build everything out of process colors. I start with yellow, move on to magenta, and then cyan. The dots are created from hole-punch holes scattered randomly between the inked plate and the paper. There are places where the dots overlapped on each run through the press and you can see paper. I'm really interested in the way process colors build off each other.

This piece was done in Spring of 2007 for a guy who approached my graphic design class to do a CD cover for his instrumental, life-changing, world altering album. He didn't dig this. He dug a picture of a tree with fetus-fruit.
