It is a little ironic that such a highly-technical, modern material as closed-cell Styrofoam can create such a warm, soft texture when rolled with ink.<\/p>\n

I thought it might be interesting to take it up a level and try a similar technique with large pieces of foam insulation.<\/p>\n

\nI used my Kyoto Market: Day 30<\/a> crabs as inspiration.<\/p>\n

Each print is 30 cm x 40 cm (about 12″ x 16″).

More experiments to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
