Description

This is my (other) cat looking out the window of my living room. I have two of them. A girl and a boy to keep each other company. They make good models but would probably make better models if they stood still more!

WHAT IS A MONOTYPE?

For those who do not know what a monotype is: it is a hand made painting on a smooth plate (like glass, metal, plastic etc) which is transferred to either a paper or canvas. The paper (I use paper) is placed on top of the painting and pressed to transfer an impression. In a monotype there are no repeating elements such as: a matrix, stamp, etching or stencil etc. Therefore although called a 'print' it is neither a digital print nor a traditional editioned print. There are no editions. Just one painting. Possible a couple fainter impression, should there be any ink left over after the first transfer (sometimes there is none left). These are called ghost prints and although they have the same design they are completely different. Just like a painting, you get a unique, one of a kind art. To make the same design again, it will have to painted again from scratch on a clean plate.
(The editioned hand prints include linoleum cuts, etchings, screen prints, litho prints etc.)
