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."
