I got the opportunity to try out "Photolithography" a while back.  Instead of using a photograph however I did a simple drawing on assotate with a light sensitive marker.  The idea was to keep it transparent so the light would go through it in the light box.  I'm glad I got to try it and it's another print process under my belt!  Here's the Photolithograph.


I thought it turned out ok for something I didn't expect to work in the first place!  The idea behind the drawing was that people are obsessed with keeping a record of where they've been on social media without really appreciating the moment itself.  If we've a picture of the view on our Tablet, why bother looking at the view in the first place right?

I expanded on this idea a little more by making a woodcut from my imagination.  I'm getting out of the need to always have reference material as I enjoy the spontaneous nature of drawing from my imagination.

Here's the woodcut.


This one took two days aswell!  I've a habit of making things harder for myself than they have to be!
