Modigliani's Studio

Modigliani's Studio 6" x 7" linoleum print with watercolor

Taking a little blogging break from the Hollywood icons series (more in the works, but nothing ready to post) to find a little inspiration from one of my favorite artists. This print is from a series of prints I did of the artists Modigliani, Matisse and Picasso. This print depicts the bohemian Modigliani seated in his studio between his painting, Madame Pompadour, and one of his many elongated head sculptures. This is a linoleum print printed in black relief ink and colored with watercolor.

The Six Million Dollar Man

The Six Million Dollar Man - 4.5" x 6" collograph print with pastel

Lee Majors is Steve Austin, the Six Million Dollar Man.
This is a collograph print like the Redd Foxx print. Lines of glue are laid out onto a piece of mat board, then sealed with acrylic medium. The plate is then inked with brushes, q-tips and brayers and then printed. This is a very simple technique that yields some very interesting and unique results. This print was very dark, so after it dried, I punched up the color with pastels.

"We can rebuild him. We have the technology. We can make him better than he was. Better...stronger...faster."
