A few Gelli plate monotypes of Ricky B. Rat

Posted On May 27, 2023

I got around to playing with my gelli plate to try to make some monotypes at home similar to what I can do in the studio with a press.

I still have a fair amount of experimenting to do to get the Goldilocks linework – just the right thinness, just the right splotchiness because I like that look within reason, just the right thickness to be bold and read cleanly.

Which is extra difficult as I was working at 5×7″ instead of a larger size.

But nonetheless, it was fun and I got some interesting results:

There were others, too, but there ya go. All done with Akua inks.

Oh, and I did make one of Noah but he doesn’t quite look right here…
