Description I had to do a 3 colour reduction print for my 2d media & processes class. Basically this means that my print is 3 layers, all cut from the same bit of lino.

A lot of colour I didn't want showed up in the print, but I think it looks quite interesting anyway. I would probably have been absolutely distraught about this at one point, but I'm not letting it bother me.

My makeshift printing press (a bottle of soft drink) of course is not a perfect tool. And I don't think I cut out some bits of lino enough.

I took some liberties with the toucan's colouring, to include more red, since I had to use three colours.

It is not an evil toucan that has been eating human flesh, it is a nice toucan that has been eating raspberry pie.
