New Print in Progress #2

I posted about my plates for the letterpress swap before and I was so excited to start printing at my new studio! I am renting a studio in Brooklyn now so I can print more and more!

The first color, yellow:

It’s the same Vandercook press, but each press feels so different when you use it. Each press definitely has a personality, I think. This guy is cool, a bit tricky at first, but prints very nicely.

Mixing the second color – pale green:

Printing the second color:

Overlapped area:

The third color – using almost same green, I printed this on the green graphic from the second print…

Like this:

and I had to go… There would be one more color and the background will be completed.

And then, the main art will be on top of this background… do you like what you see so far?! The final print will be coming very soon!
