Lino & monoprint

< my scanner has wacked out the colour of everything so excuse these images I will update them with something better>

I quite enjoyed lino printing. I didn't have a plan for what I would do I just went in and did it though I really like whats come of this. (I know roughing is important for a lot of things but some of my best work has come from just going into something without planning). I've never really enjoyed lino printing before - the process is long and I'm not great at making things neat and precise no matter how hard I try - but I enjoyed it this time and I think I would really like to pursue it further as then I can explore and experiment with this technique. 

<insert more mono print scans here>

Monoprinting I think I would like to try more of. I didn't really make anything I liked so much but I can appreciate all the funky textures and stuff you can make using mono print. I wish I had done more prints adding things onto the plate and printing it rather than drawing on the back of paper so I could experiment with stuff using photoshop, but I just drew loads of creepy hearts for the tell tale heart. 

I've not made a decision on what print medium I want to use for my final images yet. I think I will have to do experiments with them all again to really decide but I'm thinking a mixture of mono print and lino print would be cool.
