Stone Lithography Photos

I was looking through some old photos and found some of my stone lithography "Sailboat with Buoy" of the lithography crayon still on the stone. According to my professor of Offset Printmaking II, the only stones you can do printmaking on are Bavarian Limestones, and Smith College is lucky enough to have a collection of them! In order for me to do the second color, I had to literally grind away the whole picture and redraw just what I wanted in red, it had to line up exactly, and then I used red ink to print on top of the litho crayon. If you notice, the picture is in reverse of how it printed. Below is the result. Enjoy!

Now a Professional Artist!

I am very excited to announce that as of today, I have made my first sale as a professional artist! It was very hot outside at the Jazz Fest where I was showcasing my art at The Pantry Restaurant in Norwich, CT, but I can say that it was well worth it! Very excited that someone liked my work enough to buy it! Go Buddha, winning again! Hope everyone had a great weekend! :)
