I haven't posted to Illustration Friday for a while, and yesterday, the prompt was gesture. Because I am still shaking off jet lag, I was in my studio late last night and decided to try some monoprints for the first time. I'm on a bit of a mission to try as many techniques as I can before I'm done with grad school, and this was on my list. I also think this will be a nice technique to share with my students in the fall. So here are the two prints I made at 2:00am this morning. The lighter one is a doctored ghost image from the first print. As far as the prompt goes, the duckling isn't gesturing, but the images are gestural in nature.

i like the ethereal nature of these
I adore the start contrast and the mystery it exudes! :)
Oh. jet lag. terrible thing!
you'll wake up at 3am hungry, and you open the refrigerator looking for food, and 1 pm you have a terrible dream. ha ha I know.
Well I really like both images, although the first with the soft color burgundy, has its special charm. congratulations
