The above printing was the most successful out of the lot. I just went mad with the yellow and black, always a good combination; but i need to put more thought into what colours I should introduce in my prints; but these prints are just try outs really. Anyway this print was put though the press 4 times I think. Two intaglio prints that got a good clean black line/ out line of the image. Then two prints relief prints, sort of colouring the image in. First I printed a messy thin layer of yellow over the intaglio prints, then I cut the plate down a lot and added more detail with another black relief print. So THERE A LOT OF SCRUFFY MARKS AND DETAIL IN THERE

Started to get back in to the printmaking, being messing around with colour and relief printing (which I not done awhile) over my intaglio prints, and its all going pretty good. I've be really open with these prints, any idea on how to print the same plate differently I’ve tried and its all come off well; for example I printed the back of my plate and it worked, I got a very noiry, abstract print. So ill post couple of better print here with a little description.
