This is my next print, both planned and printed.

Originally this print was designed to be 14x14in square, however since my biggest screen was 14 inches at it’s widest, I couldn’t do it because of lack of room on the screen. At least not without breaking the image down into halves, thus increasing my already 10+ color runs by 50%.

Yeah. That’s too much. So I shrank it down to a 13×13 in piece. It’s still pretty big. It’s so big, that it was actually really difficult to print. (Of course I am doing the whole semester on my diningroom floor instead of on a table.)

The theme for this project was symbolism. I chose to use the current zodiac sign of Scorpio as my symbol of choice. I also used a photo of my friend, Nigel, whom you may or may not know, as my model since he is a Scorpio.

(I also have a list of my other friends who have volunteered themselves for my followup zodiac prints, which I now may or may not do due to the HUGE amount of freekin’ work this print took. Perhaps a different printmaking method would be preferred.)
