So I've been back from vacation for a little under two weeks and was very excited to get back into the groove. I'm really pushing to get this La Rose Shop piece done. The image on the left I did the day after I got back from vacation and I just printed the image on the right yesterday. The colors weren't initially what I was thinking, but they are starting to grow on me slightly.
A part of me really wishes I had just done a flat color on both sides of the sign rather than the bricks, but...it's too late now. I have a color that will print over a couple of the bricks and then I can print the color for the letters, the sky and the shadow for the neon tubing that is cast onto the letters.

So only 3 colors to go before this piece is finished.
This is the current state of the block as of yesterday while printing. I have currently carved a good portion of the inked area away. I did leave a part of the left hand side of the block in place so that it could bump up against my registration setup.
