Was excited to scale up some of the small spray paint and ink pieces I made last month. I spent hours plotting this one to just rush it at the end and tear my paper taking off the paint mask. I bought this Nichiban low-tack paper tape and it's amazing but you still need to peel it slowly and at a shallow angle. Lesson learned.

Working with an old file I sculpted some geometric linework forms and paired them up with some complementary color blocks of spray paint. Getting more bold with color and gaining confidence in its use.

I've plotted on wood before but it has been a while. I'm usually focused on what would make a good, repeatable, edition of plots so defer to paper 99% of the time. It's somewhat refreshing to work on a one off surface where you can let the piece just develop. The other good thing about plotting on surfaces other than paper is that saturation isn't an issue. I ran this file 3 times to let the ink build and pool.
