You’re probably tired of seeing Abe, but I think there still some life left in him. I do need to come up with a new idea for a print though

Day 48 – Lincoln
Wednesday, November 4th, 2009Day 44 – Abe Revisted
Friday, October 30th, 2009
I know this isn’t a complete new piece, but I do like the idea of drawing over printing. It’s a lot like the ink printing I did over the hand printing pieces I did earlier.
Day 39 – Black and White Lincoln
Sunday, October 25th, 2009
I know that this on is more simple than previous prints I did, but this one in on a plastic fabric. This is one that is better seen in person, because of the texture.
Day 32 – Star Lincoln

I think this is my favorite one by far. This is closer to the direction I want to go. There is something about this that makes me very happy.
Day 31 – Lincoln with Printer

This one is interesting to me, because I know now something I hoped was possible is now possible. Good news for future projects.
Day 28 – Faded Abe
Wednesday, October 14th, 2009
I think I took a few too many step on making this one. I went to far and should have stopped after adding the silver ink. Oh well, I learn.
Day 27 – Lincoln in Blue and Green

Another print, this time a little more controlled.
Day 26 – Quad Lincoln
Monday, October 12th, 2009
Today I messed around a little bit with printing technique, and I think I’ve come up with some nice ideas. They’re take a little practice though. I’m really enjoying doing these
Notice: This is the first piece to have an enlarged version of the image. Click here
Day 25 – Penny Print
Sunday, October 11th, 2009
After a long wait, I’ve finally started printing. This one is not much more than a test, but it’s going in the right direction. I’m excited about having another design tool in my arsenal.
Day 24 – Block Print Step 1
Saturday, October 10th, 2009
I don’t have time to complete the whole block print in the time I had today, but I did get the first step done, and I thought you might like to see my process. I basically make a copy after copy for the original image, getting it into a negative/reversed version, appropriate for printing. The way I do it is almost like making a photocopy of a photocopy. Every time I make a copy, the lines lose detail and shapes simplify. Hopefully multiple prints will follow tomorrow.
