Working-class hero


 The original drawing for this was one of my favorites from last year's Inktober. That early-morning cup of tea speaks to me. It makes you want to don your hi-vis orange suit and head off to work.

I'd got some sepia ink left over from the last naked woman print, so there wasn't much thinking involved in choosing the colour. (In fact I've still got loads left, so I could be entering my Brown Period). This is a reduction print with the same extended ink printtted three times. I've never tried reduction printing before, but this print seemed to call for it somehow. It's an additional tool in my pocket, I suppose, ready to be pulled out when I need it.
