A new twist on the inkrub and white conte, this time on yellow legal pad paper. This one measures 24" x 40".

"#17"


The third installment in the "Urban Dancer Series", this one measures 40" x 32". I decided to add some color to this one, utilizing some blue pastel to counteract the white conte and black ink.

"The Offer He Couldn't Refuse (Revisited)"


My largest inkrub to date, this one measures 32" x 40". I'm continuing to experiment with the inkrub on collaged newspaper, observing how the ink oxidizes on the surface of the paper. It's presenting some interesting challenges working this large, but is ultimately rewarding when the end result comes out how I envisioned it. White conte was added in some areas for contrast.

"G.O.A.T. (Revisited)"


I have begun to experiment now with the inkrub technique on different surfaces, this one being collaged newspaper over board. I have also decided to work bigger, with this particular piece measuring 18" x 24". Added conte white and colored chalk in some places as well.
