This tree piece turned out too. I like how I used the mixture in the background plus the tool to make the streaks then the tree stencil to make the near randomness that does stand out.

This is a shapeless piece I made while mixing colors. After rolling on a full background of green, I put a glob of blue paint and instead of spreading it I striped it with a tool and it turned out nice.

These two bear prints turned out really nice, I liked the way the bears are just part of the whole instead of completely standing out. Ilike the combination of colors and the texture in the background.

# data[].attributes.body
This was my first print. I learned a lot from this such as needing to use different tools in order to get different textures because a solid color doesn't look good. I also learned that it wont turn out the way you want it to but thats ok.

These are the final prints of the screen printing from the stencil.  First I cut the stencil, then I took a screen and taped it to keep any unwanted ink off of the paper, then I put the stencil on and a glob of ink, after that I squeegee the ink through the screen onto the paper. The top two were both poorly squeegeed and taped. The center left was nicely taped and poorly squeegeed. The center right is one of my favorites, nicely done and clean looking. The bottom two are also favorites, nicely done and clean looking except with a mixture of gold and red.

This is the stencil I made using the semi famous dreads of a pop culture icon.  I started with the actual picture of the hair outlining it on plastic with a sharpie and customizing it to not have islands and to work once it was cut out. One piece was too thin and I had to reconnect it. I hand cut the stencil with an exacto blade.

This is a separate piece but it is a byproduct of the main piece. It is the stamp but covered in a mixture of paints.

This collagraph is based on the first 40 seconds of the song LUST. by Kendrick Lamar on his album DAMN.  First I took a large piece of paper and used previously made scraps to put together an aesthetically pleasing background and a few outstanding central pieces like the heart because of the music feeling and the descending drip for the musics sound. Then I used the cross stamp twice in both empty spaces and I liked the way it resembles a playing card

# data[].attributes.body
This stamp is made with a rope, corrugated cardboard, and hot glue for texture.  The cross with streaks is to show the christian resemblance in his music and especially in this song.

These are the four final prints I came out with after putting ink on, wiping it off and creating lights and darks then pressing it onto paper.

This is the etched piece of plastic and the same piece being used to print.

This was when i traced the collage onto a piece of paper to simplify it, then the pen etching practice was in preparation for using the stylus to add definition and darkness.

# data[].attributes.body
These collages were easy enough to make, a day spent putting together snippets of magazines got it done. Each had a different mood, but i liked the second one more, it was more filled in and I liked the subtle political commentary though some people don't understand it.

This is my favorite print. Its simple, square to the paper, came out detailed like it was supposed to, and most of all I just like it. I like simple prints and it was hard to accomplish with such a busy piece. The soft color and good proportions make this as simplistic as it could be.

These prints show how I was moving to the finals.  The dark on light worked better than the light on dark but it was worth the try. The organic paper mixes good with the subject matter.

This was just a print for fun on a piece of fabric. But I like the way the physical swirls work with the ink.

# data[].attributes.body
These practices helped me find the best way so print. The purple was too dark so I moved to red. Then I added some white to the red and it showed that a light red was the best color for this project.

This is my final printing block. After attempting to print without deep cuts and the surrounding chatter, it became obvious it needed work so this is the final. It has two subjects with chatter and is all one color

This is the flower stamp with the Jungle background. The flower had more color variation and isn't directly on the background. The jungle background had more indentation than last time and the green is lighter because I mixed it with white.

# data[].attributes.body
This is a flower I made with only one stamp, the color is a blend and the positive turned out good.

This piece was two organic stamps, one being a forest background and the other being a lizard. The dark background overpowers the lizard which I change in later prints.

This is the first print I made inspired by the combination of computer chips and wires. there was one geometric stamp and one natural stamp. The blue stamp proves that it is better to have more negative space than positive.

This piece was on found paper and was difficult in different ways. The modge-podge wasn't very receiving but the upper body worked well.  I liked the way it all turned out but the wording needed dimension so I gave it an outline.  I attempted to outline the face but it didn't work so I covered it back up.  The Blue Image is separate from the red so there are multiple layers.

On my first attempt, the words came out backwards, the lips blended with the mustache and the background got smeared with extra ink.  But the failures in this try were helpful because they let me know how hard I should press for shading, how detailed I could make it, and how wording works with trace monoprint.

These prints were all perfect. I never made ghost prints so they are all 1/1. I learned that you should put in background for zoomed out prints, use something to define eyes, before or after, pastels for features and accessories, add hairs, follow facial contours, and make background flowing.
