Drawing games with @benbrlsq @heathenlegs and @vansailor - a good way to wind down after murdering paper for multiple consecutive hours.

5 of 8 screens into The Fellowship of the Ring variant for @mondotees - the two colors shown here are custom mixed metallics whipped up by birthday boy @benbrlsq - at this stage the whole thing is shimmering and appears to be floating just above the black paper. Otherworldly and impossible to capture in a flat photograph.

Variant complete, were the winter days just a bit longer I would have taken a photo in the (muted January) sun so as to properly display the metallic inks on this beast... Monumental printing session finished-now to cut, sort, sign and pack.

Grails test print (detail), 2009-2015. The layers of ink on this one essentially double the weight of the paper-the large metallic silver hit revealing underlying textures while pulling back the flat colors it surrounds.
