Black and Bling Skull



Black and Bling Skull, Solorplate, 3"x3"

The print started on frosted glass and I drew in pencil on the surface. I then placed the glass ontop of the solor plate and exposed the image to the sun. It is a technique that is closer to lithograph, but is actually a solorplate.

Once the plate was burned then I was free to do all sorts of things. The black in intaglio then I hand painted the yellow directly on the plate.

This is an edition of 10 I have 5 prints then I gave Tats Cru www.tatscru.com
I had a bad morning one day and somehow I ended up sitting on a curb watching Tats cru work their magic and it changed my headspace. After seeing those guys work I eventually got hungry to make my own work. It snapped me out of what could have been a crappy morning into a very productive day. So I wanted to thank them for not bothering me while I watched them work. One never knows where or when inspiration will appear and they were just what I needed that day.
