So here it is - my monoprint from week 2 of my printmaking class. I think I should've photographed it rather than scanning it, but hey, it's too dark now for decent photos. Plus I think it's a bit wonky. Just take my word that this image does not do it justice. Moving on....
The yellow was printed through some crazy 70's polyester curtain material, making the grid pattern and also embossing the paper. I printed the black lines by cutting pieces of paper to block out most of the drawing. The black at the bottom was an afterthought because it didn't seem finished without it. I inked the surface very lightly so that the black ink was thin enough to pick up the embossing.
I'm really happy with it. This Thursday we start linoprinting and already my design is wildly ambitious. Hopefully I can pull it off.
