What an exquisite corpse — I mean collaboration!

 One of the assignments for Jay Harriman's Intro to Polyester Lithography was for each student to create a self-portrait in the same size format, and we will print our collective prints onto sheets to create a group portrait.


For mine, I wanted to capture the many styles I work in, so I gridded my face and would apply mono-lineweight to some areas, halftones to others, realistic ball-point pen as well as a loose wash using carbon black acrylic paint.



The final effect is definitely kind of silly and maybe a little amateur-ish.


Below you can see an in-progress group portrait with four of the 7 artists having printed:
