Monoprints

Monoprint means to ink a surface, press a paper against it and pull a print.  The process of inking a monoprint surface can vary greatly.  Often times a second print can be pulled from you inked surface, this is called a ghost print, but mostly just one print is achieved in the monoprinting process.  Monoprinting is a fun loose process compared to the blocks I carve.  When I'm feeling the need to loosen up I often create monoprints in various forms.  Sometimes I even incorporate my blocks in my monoprints.
