Print #1 (Rich Guy)

For my first people and characters print, that sadly never got to be placed on the wall, I created a lino cut out of a 'rich' guy. I carry the 'rich' stereotype across through the monocle, and a trench styled coat.

Sketching the character out onto the vinyls surface with graphite.

After using the cutting tools to highlight the lines.

With the background removed. This will allow the print to stand out more easily.

Final Prints in an assortment of different forms:

A tester print

Print with ink on.

Cleaning ink off print.

Assorted prints, on different surfaces, using different colours.

You can find my final selected prints for this image, alongside my submitted work, and here at the bottom of this blog.
