I began these backside plates a few weeks ago (see prior post). Here is how things stand now. I’ve defined the figures with an open bite and added an initial aquatint to the Sea Horse Returns plate. To inform what I do next (and have some instant gratification) I’ve also played with some monoprints – here are two. I’m imagining the jester carrying the sea horse to a party/meeting in a dark forest. The bananahead is either experiencing dimensional distortions or reminiscing about a Blazer’s game. We’ll see….
- Bananahead second monoprint
- Sea Horse Returns monoprint #1
- Sea Horse Returns first aquatint



Hi Shawn! I love the fact that your prints express one side of your creative vision, and your paintings another. So wonderful to be given the chance to witness your process… I have another painter friend you might be interested in following: http://www.eringafill.com~ She is a college friend who is also very expressive of process, and very inspired/inspiring. Thanks for SHINING YOUR LIGHT!
