"Hanging
Around"
was created using a printing process called Mylar lithography.
The drawing is done on a material call Mylar, a very stable
translucent drawing film developed for doing drawings and plans
requiring great accuracy and close tolerance.
The
lithographic plate is made by contact printing the drawing to the
plate with light. The plate is then mounted on the press and
printing begins. After registering, the color is adjusted to
produce the most satisfying results and then printed on the entire
edition.
Each
drawing is carried to the paper in this same way until the artist is
satisfied with the result.
In
creating a truly original print, the artist does not begin with a
fully realized image but creates it one step at a time, first drawing
each plate, then printing that plate in the appropriate color to
finally achieve completion of the work. The edition is then
considered a multiple original work of art very different from a
reproduction or copy.
