“In early September, I made my second trip to Shark’s Ink in Lyons, CO. It was wonderful to be invited back to create another pair of lithographs with Bud Shark and his team, especially because we were able to build upon last years experience. This time around, I endeavored to create a pair of prints that I would never be able to execute as paintings, due to the complexity and small-scale detail of the imagery. Once again, I wanted to take full advantage of the unique characteristics of lithography ink, which is deliciously brilliant and saturated, yet transparent.
My understanding of the lithography process is evolving, which allowed me to build my digital files in a more orderly way than last year. However, my increased experience also gave me license to make decisions that presented new challenges.”
