A limited, variable edition of 8 monoprints featuring a laser-cut linocut of my digital drawing of Tokyo’s famous Meiji Shrine.
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), with the colors inverted so the laser cut away the lines, making the linocut print the negative space.
I made this set of variable edition monoprints on the printing press — starting with solid black relief ink, then adding in a bit of other colors of relief ink: turquoise, white, green, yellow.
The linocut block is 4” x 4.9” and each paper is a unique size as I tore larger pages down by hand. (2/8 is on newsprint paper.)
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.
