Monotypes

 I've been doing a bunch of monotypes recently. My procedure involves rolling ink onto a copper or plexiglass plate, scraping away the ink to create white or halftone marks, and running it through an etching press, printing onto dry paper. "Toast" also has some marks added to the paper after printing. 

Monotype in black and white, entitled "Toast." Depicts five men around a table, with central figure at the head of the table leading the others in toast. They are surrounded by darkness, illuminated by a lamp on the table, creating a strong chiaroscuro effect.

Monotype in black and white, entitled "Shuffle," depicting a scene in a nightclub or restaurant with a central figure walking, while seated figures look on. The walkers feet and lower legs are surrounded by a cloudy haze of light.
