Whoa!… Who’s this?
There’s no need to be alarmed dear reader, it’s just one of my decalcomania monoprints from 2010. This one is on white drawing paper and is about 16″ x 12″.
I won’t go on about this form of printmaking again here, but if you would like to know a little more about it, and how you could even do some yourself, you could have a look at an earlier post of mine on the subject. (link)
Well, who is it? It’s definitely a man – it couldn’t be a woman – look at those great wide shoulders on him!
