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.
I decided to participate in this event in which participants do a drawing each day during the month of October. I took the option, however, of only doing it every other day. So I planned to produce an inked image on the odd numbered dates-1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th etc. That amounts to a potential 16 drawings over the period. These were progressively posted here on my blog and dated. I also added an image of the drawing implement(s) employed. I saw this exercise as an opportunity to ‘warm up’ for issue 4 of my Blotting Paper artist book/comic…another experimental image-making outlet.
A new drawing made on every odd numbered date of the month.
Midway through the month…I managed to maintain my planned participation of posting an ink image every other day. Next stage…I am move in the direction of making blind contour drawings of moving subjects.
A return to abstraction for the final four images! I am switching to printmaking, exchanging the pen for a brush and using sumi ink to make monoprints.
