POSTCARD ART: Third Posting

Art, Comics September 21, 2016

This post continues the profiling of production of my hand-made art postcards in limited editions… featuring more examples from the Abstract series…and as previously stated each postcard is an original…a monotype, similar in design but not an exact duplicate of any other card.

Cards in an edition are all original prints…similar in design but with no exact duplicates…as can be seen in the following four examples from  the Abstract No-14 series. These cards were all made in the same batch…during the same printmaking session…however, variations in colour, texture and positioning of compositional elements can be detected.
