Stork on the Move #2 (Collagraph of Long-Legged Bird)





This is another version of the stork which has a brighter background. I personally like the more subtle background in my previous post. I took a different approach here where I started out printing some color on the bird, then printed the black plate and then printed the background color. Image size is 18.5" x 13.5", paper size: 21.5" x 15.5" and printed on arches cover white paper.

Stork on the Move #1 (Original Collagraph of Wading Bird)



I have been working on this guy off and on for quite a while. I spent a lot of time creating the feathers, but I think it was worth the effort. The image size of this guy is 18.5" x 13.5", the paper size is 21.5" x 15.5" and is printed on arches cover white paper. As you can see the bottom image is of the black and white. The second stage was to print color on the background and the third stage was to hand color the bird.

Pug (Original Collagraph of Short-Muzzled Dog)


I recently participated in the Open Studio Event presented by the Contemporary Art Museum. One of the people I met asked if I had ever done a pug. It has been in the back of my mind for some time so I guess that gave me a push. Both of these have some hand coloring. I think I prefer the black and white version. The image size is 7.25" x 9.5". The paper size is 9.5" x 11.5".

Truman the Morkie (Original Collograph of Designer Dog)


A friend of a friend asked me to do a collagraph portrait of their Morkie (combination of a Maltese and a Yorkshire Terrier). I haven't done a lot of work with dogs with longer hair so I wasn't sure how it would come out. Anyway these are two versions I came up with. The image size is 7.25" x 9.5". The paper size is 9.5" x 11.5".

Macy and Taz (Original Collagraph of two black cats)


I created this hand-colored collagraph of two black cats with golden eyes for a close friend of mine. I thought I would try a version with a blue background. I kind of like the flat blue even though the cats appear to be floating. I think if I had to choose I would go with the black and white version.

Image Size: 7.25" x 9.25" (18.4 cm x 23.5 cm)
Paper Size: 9.5" x 11.25" (24.1 cm x 28.6 cm)
Printed on Arches Cover White Paper

Peacock on Blue (Original Collagraph of Bird)




Here are a couple of versions of the peacock I created with a blue background. I had always intended to do one with a blue background and finally got a push from an interested client. The image size of the peacock is 28" x 21". Paper size is 31" x 24".
