Monoprinting


I wanted to create large scale mono prints. For this I rolled mono printing ink directly onto the print table. I enlarge my chosen drawings to approximately 52cm x 1.4 meters in Adobe illustrator and printing it out in sections onto A3 paper. After matching the pieces together and placing it on top of wall lining paper I was ready to print.
To achieve thick bold lines I used the rounded end of my scissors, the wrong side of my pen and my knuckles.
I like the sections where the ink was perhaps still wet and has stuck to the paper without my intention. It adds texture to the print.

I quite like these large scale monoprints. Perhaps, I can go even larger scale or add some machine embroidery to it.
