The Minotaur.
This semester my class decided to organize an all night print session, which is exactly what it sounds like. The class gets all nigh passes in order to be aloud to stay in the Print Shop all night without getting kicked out. I started the session with only a Stone that already had an image on it so i had to grind the stone, edge of the sides, come up with an image, put the image on the stone, etch the stone, and the print the stone. I think we started around ten and finished up at 5 Thirty or so.
Initially i was thinking about this odd little sketch that i did in my sketch book while i was watching the movie "The Elephant Man." I was trying to think of other animals that i could combine with man and the figure of the minotaur came up, half man half bull. So i came up with a few gesture drawings, and instead of taking a long time to produce a well rendered image, i decided that it would be fun to use the energy that you get from a gesture drawing to produce a sort of aura about this charecter. It is from a series of ten.
