Discovery and experimentation.

“Printmaking is about discovery, about experimentation; art itself is about discovery and experimentation.”

 Recently I've found myself drawn to printmaking, after the previously explained talk with lectures and experimentation I've realised that it's a path that I'd like to try out as to what media I'd like to use.


These are two of many prints that I feel inspired by, the one on the left is by a University student whose blog I stumbled upon, whilst the one below is by the incredible print-maker Daniel Danger (even his name is cool!) I find myself constantly finding prints online and in books that I absolutely LOVE the look of, which only furthers my determination to try any techniques that are available to me. I'm currently trying to experiment and see what combinations go best together. I want to be able to combine print techniques with other traditional methods to produce interesting images instead of just printmaking alone.

Although at the moment it's a bit stressful that I still haven't finished any brief purely because I have to finish it in print but hopefully it'll be worth it. We've also just been given a new editorial brief, something that should be interesting considering it has to be a week turnaround and has me thinking whether I'd be able to do that after uni, or whether it doesn't fit with print, so if you know of any professional print-makers who have successful careers with editorial work then drop me a message!



This is the result of my first ever screen print which is for the proverb brief. It's a two-tone print which turned out quite good, and is definitely a process  that I'll be trying again! Happy days!
