This started as a drawing I did a week or so in a class run by Eric Gaskell. Then I got persuaded to demonstrate printing at the Rugby Artists and Makers Pop-Up shop in Rugby Central, so I decided to work the drawing up into something I could do to amuse the crowds (sic).
I decided to use craft foam and my rolling-pin press to double-down on the you-can-do-this-at-home thing. It also seemed an opportunity to show the old artist’s trick of emphasizing something light by placing it against a dark background and vice versa. Using craft foam also made it easy to do the “negative” version just by flipping over the bits I cut out of the other half.
I like the 2-Tone thing that seems to be going on. It’s like “Whatever happened to the Rude Boys.”
