MONOTYPE SELF-PORTRAIT 09/10 (2009)
Oil pastel and gouache on paper21cm x 15cm
I was thumbing through a magazine and saw an article on transferred line printing – as used by Paul Klee and in some of Warhol’s early works.
It’s probably not something I’ve thought of doing since I was at school. I had to hand a black and white photocopy of my blog profile photo and off I went.
Not sure about it – but quite like the flat printed , slightly surreal quality of it. I couldn’t resist adding some red lipstick . I could see other applications for this technique which I will probably be experimenting with soon.
If you want me looming on your wall – this is for sale – just email me to discuss.

On the subject of my two abstracts immediately below I might try to take some photos showing the basic technique I used and post them here soon. Can I also say thank you again for the brilliant response to those two pieces.
