This self portrait was pretty much the end of the series. I produced an edition of 25 of these for the Hand Print Press, a print making cooperative which organized an annual exchange. Similar to 64, but much more ambitions, I was very happy (and very lucky) to keep the four color plates and one large etched plate in register throughout. What a trick! When I completed the run, I decided that next time I’d try to hook up with a master printer and get the job done right!

I love looking at all the incredible (and sometimes funky) variation among the small portraits…
