Bloom / Patreon Experimental Print Club / 1st edition, April 2016

We're looking forward to inking up the copper plate we completed a few weeks back, and actually printing the first edition - Bloom - at BV Studios this week. After a certain amount of trial and error, we've chosen to use a digital bitmap of the original drawing at 500 ppi, transferred to the copper etching plate using a laminated photopolymer film, exposed with an aquatint screen. All good stuff. There are just a very few decisions left to be made about the exact hue of the black ink, which is likely to be fairly warm.
