Carving out areas where I intended there to be negative space, I leave wood in areas that will be printed. With each layer and cycle of printing, I remove a bit more and use a new color. The end result is a dynamic and colorful illustration.

I roll hand-mixed oil ink onto my board, then press the paper onto it to deposit a layer of color. I do this five separate times for every print in the series.

A progress shot: only two colors.
