i've got a bit out of sequence here - trips 23-25 are still either partially cut or not even drawn onto the blocks at present.
this is my first stab at two-colour printing.
the guy pictured was stood outside the building college, bright red hair and a matching orange coat/jacket.
i'd been thinking for a while about trying to use an additional colour, so this was ideal.
using a medium to convert the acrylic colour for the orange layer into ink was not quite as straightforward as i'd hoped [i'm terrible at judging quantities and ratios...!] but i got it about right in the end...
the letters at the top work well, i think [the numbers, less so]
i like the way it doesn't quite register, so you get an orange echo of the black outline.
next time i do a two-colour print i'll try to use the second colour to create highlights and shadows - he's maybe a bit flat here.
that said, i'm still quite chuffed with this.
