APRIL BERUBE-BUG / THE PROCESS

I decided to do a 2-color print for this months Berube-Bug, and I'm not sure what the reasoning was behind adding all of the baby bugs to the "Mommy", but all of the coverage and oversaturation of "OctoMom" may have seeped into my subconciousness as I was drwaing this.

Below is documentation of the process of what it entails to create a 2-color linocut print.

FINAL 2 MARCH BUGS / CARLA CRYPTIC and CHUCK GATTUSO

These are the final 2 bugs received for March. Just so happens that I ran out of the March bugs I printed up w/the chine-colle' technique, so this small second edition will be hand colored.
