(Multipurpose adhesive/filler, applied to cardboard with a palette knife and varnished with a layer of shellac.)

Been experimenting with collagraphy again. These are a few of the first test prints, just to see how the plates are shaping up.

Water-based inks on various papers.

These are like vaguely familiar landscapes to me. They feel like dark grainy holiday photographs from a trip I barely remember taking.

Grit and gesso and acrylic and PVA and water-based ink and god-knows-what-else on card. Used for monoprinting.
