What started out to be a linoleum reduction...had a series of circumstances change my direction. Because reductions are all about registration/any slip and the print is ruined. I didn't realize while printing the 3rd color that the lino had separated from the block and had moved an 1/8th of an inch the whole run. I decided to make it a project of overprinting after that and carved two additional blocks and printed various versions of what you see here. 3 blocks total were used. the first 3 colors were reduction, the remaining consisted of the other blocks.

The end result is a cool Warhol effect that is truly a limited edition print. I only completed three sheets of proper printmaking paper [one is housed at the Otis Lab press] If you're looking for limited edition this is your print. This project took over two months to complete. Due to the time and monoprint nature I raised the price from my other prints.

I'll do another posting with some of the printer's test sheets as well for viewing. All the variations are quiet lovely.
