Description
This is the ghost of my other work (listed below).

Countries have closed borders and flights have stopped flying. People will no longer shake hands or go out. Everyone is wearing masks and using hand sanitizer and washing hands obsessively! And you thought that was bad? Well... now we can just have public spaces shut down, have a curfew and be on house arrest! It's amazing what a virus Flu can do to the unprepared world...

Enjoy and take care of yourselves!

WHAT IS A MONOTYPE?

For those who do not know what a monotype is: it is a hand made painting made on a smooth plate (like glass, metal, plastic etc) I use mylar, plexiglass or polycarbonate as my plates. Afterwards a paper or canvas (I use paper) is placed on top of the painting and pressed to transfer an impression. Therefore although called 'print' this is not a digital print. It is a traditional printing non editioned method of hand printing. Like a painting, you get a unique, one of a kind art. At most perhaps 1±3 versions of the same design, none of which will be the same. To make the same design again, it will have to painted again from scratch (or a clean plate lol)
The editioned hand prints include linoleum cuts, etchings, screen prints, lithoprints etc.

I first hand press the excess ink and get the first 'print' then I will run what paint remains on the smooth plate through my press twice. During this process all of the paint is consumed. This is why the second (main) 'print' looks much darker than the third ghostprint.
