Collagraph

(figure the conversions out yourself)
Jet James has a whole tragic life story on his deviant art art page, which you can view by clicking on this link here. James lives in Australia and has had a big interest in and been filling his life with art for most of his life. His favorite being printmaking.
This print really shows the use of texture by the plants and splashes all across the print. More texture can be seen at the top with the almost sandpaper like look and the lines of the hair. It looks like this artist has a good idea of the items used and how they will look once printed. . . I'm jelly.
I was immediately drawn to this piece because. . . well . . . it actually looked like something. Most of the collagraphs I found looked like something anyone could make. They looked easy, like the artists just threw stuff on a board, slapped some ink on it and printed it. I wanted something more thought out. This strikes me as thought out. The plants turned out really clear and has inspired me for my own project.
