Hey, I just found your work-- awesome stuff. I'm a linocut printmaker and a big fan of Transformers, but I've never paired the two and you bring such a cool style to the franchise.
Your Megatron etching-- how did you add the color? Is that a monotype underneath, of painted afterward, maybe?
Underneath is an intaglio printing and colors is watercolor.
I wanted to use linocut for coloring becouse I thought lynolium should be cheaper then metal (which was a wrong thinking, copper at least really does not cost more then good lynolium or rubber, plus could be two sided but I'm moving, and I'm not sure how it's going to be in the future) and I didn't know how to do aquatint for that before. Back than I even thought to buy small metal melting furnace for easily fusible metals to cheaper all of that but metals have different alloys, i'm not really dig into that and manufacturers rarely write what kind of alloy metal has, and that's all affects the final result.
Plus, I live in a flat and going to live in a flat.
In a short may be not in this life :").
Besides letterpress printing has different texture then etching does, there needs to be very careful thinking in composition and a lot of experience in both to bind the two properly.
But watercolor looks good with etching I guess markers would look great with linocut, I'm not sure what a community of local traditionalists will say, watercolor in etching is a classic markers is not, lol, though I've seen these grandpas only from afar.
Sorry for adding this reply, I just thought it won't be superfluous if I answer: YEEEES.
It's always fun to experiment even on the stage of covering the paint and erasing it, the result always differ in a way that only printmaking does and that's cool.
