ashley had a couple little boards that were covered with a cheap canvas and i thought that one of them would make for a nice collagraph... so i straight up stole one... after nicely asking permission.
an artist generally doesn't give away his or her trade secrets but i am not an artist... so... i took the cap from my bottle of gesso, centered it on the board, painted gesso around it, played plants vs. zombies while waiting for it to dry, inked it up with a raspberry color, smeared a black-ink-cover-cheese-clothe around the center, wiped it clean, and pulled the print. tah dah.
i find it kind of interesting that my best print of the semester (in my opinion) won't actually be used for a grade since i had already turned my portfolio in... i just did it for the fun of doing it... i guess i am an artist after all. please ignore the previous paragraph.
