The One That Got Away

This is my print making idea entitled "The One That Got Away" which features two robins highlighted by eccentric red color and contrasting black and grey. I originally intended to have four colors, including eyes and legs but due to printing malfunctions and visual aesthetics it was decided that less color was better. Especially basic colors such as black and red which accentuate very well I found. The blobs of color speckled around the page were also a desirable accident, they were produced by the tips of the carved away material during printing. Another thing I liked about this was its post modernism appeal and the way the grey appears to have texture almost feather-like (also accidental). This print making process taught me that even mistakes can have desirable outcomes.

  1. Thanks for posting this Liam. A very charming piece. I also enjoyed reading your statement about
    the "happy accidents". Way to go!
