Another step in preparation for my BFA show and graduation from LSU—my show invites were los sent to subscribers and requested that they draw a self portrait. I hung all the portraits I received at the show, as a way to bring my subscribers to the event.

More about the show in the next post but this was printed in 3 colors with handset type, I think at Blackbird Letterpress though maybe some of it was done at LSU. There’s a 4th layer you can’t see. Oh and that hot air balloon is a 2 color lino cut. Did I mention I used a die cutter for fancy corners. Like a person with a lot of free time. Someone tell my Italian teacher this is why I almost failed my final exam and had to retake his class in Italy (that’s another story).
