printmaker

I completed my first print in some years on the weekend - so pleased!

Hello, I'm hoping someone can help me out. I know the basics of how to sign a silkscreen print, HOWEVER, I have a couple of prints where I switched up the colors. It's the same image, with the same title, but they can't all be one edition, right? Because an edition has to be identical, and this is two different versions. So how would I sign and number them? They're not going to have a different title, so I can't differentiate them that way. I've read that you can have a second edition of a print, but from what I've seen it sounds like that's for doing a second run if you want more of the original print. I haven't been able to find anything about how to indicate a different version.

I'm going to see my professor on Saturday, but I would like to get it done sooner. If anyone knows the proper way to sign them it would be much appreciated!

Hello. I have several pictures etched on metal plates and would like to have them printed.
The size of each picture is approximately 8"x11". I contacted several printing companies but none of them agreed to do the job. Could you recommend me a company or at least key words to search for a company. I live in Chicago area. Thank you

We have high quality lithographic stones available for bulk orders or for orders of large individual stones. The stones are high quality Solnhofen Lithographic Limestone, widely recognised as the best quality limestone available for stone-Lithography. Since Lithography ceased to be a mainstream industrial process very few new stones are taken out of the ground from the Solnhofen region of southern Germany anymore. Our stones come from an industrial printer in Switzerland that closed down and some of the stones still show the last image that was printed upon them. The stones are in very good condition and have a long life-span.

We don’t yet have a detailed inventory of each stone, but photographs indicating the size and quality of a selection of the stones can be reached through our website - http://lithographic-stones.blogspo…

The stones vary in size from the smallest 300mm x 4500mm x 80mm (12” x 18” x 3”) to the largest 900mm x 1150mm x 120mm (35" x 45" x 4”); the largest stones weigh about 250kg – these figures are approximate. Please get in touch for more information.

Thank you,

LS

Hopefully this kind of question is allowed...

I'm wondering if anyone can help me identify what type of media this is? I'm leaning towards a linocut, but I have no education or experience in art and would rather not depend on my guess. :) It could be a woodcut for all I know, or something completely different, or maybe it's not even possible to tell. But if anyone here can clear this up for me I'd be most grateful.

The work is called "The Strasbourg Münster" and it's pre-1926, by an artist named Böhm - sorry, that is all I know!



Thanks!

I’m on a boat, 15″ x 22″ Intaglio etch on BFK, 2011.

One of my university projects.
Intaglio (mostly soap ground and aquatint) with beading.

Anyway, aside from providing something for you to listen to, we really want people to get involved, whether it's their opinions or their work. If you have something that you'd like us to feature, get in touch through the website.
