New Fun

I am so upset that I didn't learn this sooner! Just the other day I was taught a wonderful ink transfer process. Transfer an image on cardboard, color paper, newspaper, another image, or anything made of paper.

Here are a few of my transfers so far:

 

 

This is my favorite. The image is of a raccoon in a suit, but now takes on a whole new meaning. The absence of some details such as his eyes and face suggest some greater, political meaning. I may be using all three of these ink transfers in my current project. I love discovering new ways to use media.

Here is how:
1. Just mirror an image that you like in photoshop
2. print it out
3. place the reverse image on the paper of your choice (face down)
4. then press a blender marker over the image (a blender marker is an illustration marker that designers, fashion designers, and illustration artists use). use pressure and be even with pen distribution
5. The text or image will transfer on your paper! you can do soooo much with this process

ENJOY!
