Monoprint from last night made with 7 different Pilot G2 pens and some white acrylic paint. Think I'm going to cut 2 pens out to make it a little less muddy.

Watercolor paint and gel pens on 5"x7" BFK Rives paper

The paint in these prints was applied with a round 1/2" diameter foam brush. The two colors overlap a tiny bit allowing the paints to interact directly on the print.

Signo 0.5mm gel pens and watercolor on BFK Rives.

I've been plotting on bristol almost exclusively because it's so smooth and takes pen line work so well but as I use more mixed media I'm finding other papers work better overall. This BFK Rives is great at taking the watercolor with no bleeding or curling.

Fluid acrylic paint and Signo UM-153 pens on 5"x7" bristol

Was a busy month and got a late start on this print set. Not going at my usual pace, with it's usual time for trial and error left me feeling rushed which may have impacted my thoughts on these prints. As with all work, parts I like and parts I don't but need to look at with fresh eyes.

Forgot to post the September subscriber prints. These were knots of fun to do 😄.

August '24 Subscriber Prints

Still working with the paint and Signo pen combination as I continue to be excited by the rich tones you can build up. Worked this month a lot with the gold pen in addition to the standard red, blue, and black and love how it comes through. Never thought I'd be a gold pen guy but here we are.

Still working with these line moire patterns. I used to put an emphasis on changing techniques and materials often in the spirit of exploration but I'm finding success in limiting the exploration to a specific set of tools.

Another process blog post up. This one summarizes the prints that went into a recent stop motion animation piece. Fun stuff.

Still working with these #moire pen line prints. Amazed at the amount of tones you can generate with just a few pens. I did bring in gold and white ink on these in addition to the red, blue, and black. The paint is actually a screen printing ink made from captured carbon. It's super pricey but love the idea and it has a nice matte finish.

Took a picture of this one before and after adding the black ink because I can't decide if I like it better with or without. Leaning towards with. Any preference?

I often like to start a print with a base mark of white acrylic somewhere on the paper. It provides a subtle shift in the way the ink goes down and provides a bit of unpredictability to the plot.

Hours of plotting to make the 48 prints in this 5 second loop. For a first attempt at any kind of animation it was a learning process, but happy with the results.

Spent some time this weekend setting up some plot files for a stop motion animation. Doing some test plots now and really itching to work on this but sadly the day job will call in the morning.

You can never predict what ink will do. You can repeat the process, but not always the results.

Reworked some old files during my week long residency at The Center for Machine Arts in Peekskill, NY.

Pilot G2 pens

Trying to see just how dense you can pack in the color with the Pilot G2 pens. Answer, pretty darn dense.

I've been playing around a lot with watercolors and doodling lately, and watching a lot of YouTube videos of people who are doing the same.

I'm not in love with a lot of the experimentation at the moment, but I'm thinking of it more like a journey rather than fixating on a destination.

I expect this one will likely get torn up someday and be part of a collage, as it's on thinner paper than what's really good for watercolor.
