Sometimes it can be really hard coming up with new images. To loosen the old drawing arm Ramona took time out this week to get stuck into some old fashioned monoprinting...
it's a transfer technique that means unless your tracing something onto the back of the paper you are ostensibly drawing 'blind'...
it's a great way to loosen up and come up with new characters and ideas. Not sure where the floating bird balloon came from nor the meaning of this triangle that keeps appearing...
The technique give the work a really nice patina and using printing ink means the black is very very black...
Thanks to the young chap at Neils Art Supplies (behind the black cat cafe) who helped out gathering all the needed bits and bobs. Not easy to do when you have a giggling 4 month old baby watching your every move. Maybe these images will end up on canvas, or on cards. Who knows. maybe it's time to get out the dreaded lino tools next?
