This image was the first concept image of my childrens book.

These are some monotypes I produced last year. Basically a monotype is a printed painting created by inking up a flat surface with a oil- based ink, and then making marks into the ink that composes the image, by taking the ink away with a rag or brush. The plate is run through a press with some heavy rag paper that has been soaked in water. These prints are one-offs and cannot be duplicated.
