Here are a couple of the best of the worst test prints I did yesterday at the  Iowa City Press Co-op (the best ones are still drying down at the shop). I was experimenting with 2 different presses, wet paper vs. dry paper, less wiping vs. more wiping, and just trying to get a sense of how well the plastic plate was going to print, (how deep or shallow a scratch would reproduce) as this was my first time using plastic plates.

The plates are from a large, hard, clear plastic carpet protector, the type of thing office chairs roll around on, that I bought at the thrift store and  cut up with a saw into small panels.

This is the first page of a mini comic called “Blood Sugar Sex Tragic”

Starting to watercolor the Bowie/Egon Schiele engravings

Not quite done, but what the hell, it’s David Bowie’s birthday. For the cover, I’m going to turn that pencil drawing into an engraved plate and intaglio print the covers.
