Original Printmaking

The concept of halftone comes from a mechanical process for printmaking. So, naturally, my halftone artwork translates very well to all kinds of print-making techniques. Here you will find limited edition runs of original prints, including screen prints, risograph prints, and block prints. 

These differ from the reproductions I sell in many key ways:

• They are limited edition. Once the edition is sold, they will no longer be available in this form ever again. The reproductions are open edition.
• They use different kinds of ink. Risographs are known for the unique quality imparted by the soy-based inks they are required to use. A screen print or block print uses very thick ink that is firmly pressed into the paper fibers. This means a lot more color is going onto the page than if it were merely spritzed by an ink jet.
• Every print on this page is considered an original piece in its own right. Even though some of these are based on paintings, they are not a direct reproduction. Quite a bit of time and care is required to clean up the scans to get them to work as a screen print
