I'm glad that you posted these process shots. I think most people don't understand the printmaking process, and seeing something like this can really help. I always have to explain to people at fairs why my stone lithograph is priced at $40 and why the digital print of the same image is priced at $10. It always comes down to, "Have you ever tried to move a 250lb slab of limestone?"
But I think this is why I do more illustration now, it is really difficult to break into the printmaking scene where you can price your work effectively. It's much easier to sell a digital print for $10 for a bunch of people than to find one person who understands the work that goes into the process and is wiling to pay a higher price.
Anyway I really appreciate your work and the printmaking influence that you bring to this community!
