Hi everyone! So it's been a busy couple weeks since my last post. I've been working fairly consistently. I've been managing printing a coiuple hours each Thursday.
My TACO print has seen a good bit of progress. Seen above is the first green layer. This layer is the highlight color for the neon tubing. I've also printed the second green color (the normal/shadow color) of the neon tubing (see below).
The registration for this print has been very, very good and I can honestly say I'm surprised. I didn't think my new registration jig would give me this much control.
The images above are both from the printing of the first neon green. I needed a green that would be light enough so they subsequent greens could each go darker. In total, there will be four different greens involved in this piece. Only two other colors were used and they were both greys.
I also used the second green from the TACO on the grass for the Green Street print. Due to the amount of colors in this print, I've reached a point where I'm not sure that it's even going to work. It probably will, but since I have so many more colors....I don't even know how many.....the doubts in how it'll look at the end are starting to form in my head.
Going to just keep pushing forward with it.
I also made a decision that this year I wanted to start using the various mounted lino blocks that I have. For the past year, I've used unmounted lino on all my pieces and I unfortunately have a bunch of mounted blocks.
My first mounted project for this year is of the famous Flamingo logo for the Las Vegas casino. I've almost completed the first section of carving. There is only a small amount in the upper left that I need to do and then I'll be prepping the paper so I can hopefully print this upcoming Thursday.
