During my monoprinting course at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC), I used the laser cutting machine to create a custom linocut using my digital drawing of Tokyo’s Meiji Shrine (an illustration in my An Alphabet of Fun Facts book). I made this set of variable edition monoprints on the printing press — starting with solid black relief ink, then adding in a bit of turquoise relief ink, then reverting back to solid black ink to print on top of watercolors I’d painted on in preparation for these prints.
The linocut block is 4” x 4.9” and each paper is a unique size as I tore larger pages down by hand.
Monoprints are unique prints, and this variable edition is a set that share the commonality of my Meiji linocut and production at the same time.
