Scott's Follis - Mao - Print Experiment
Tempera Sticks, Lithograph on paper various dimensions

I'm using this image as a vehicle to experiment with litho. The idea was to make a trace litho of the Follis image. Make the drawing inspired by how Warhol draws from tracing in his purple mao image and also the society portraits and later work. I think mine came out well. And i like that style of traced drawing. Then i printed one on tracing paper and then made nine prints that were inspired by warhols mao prints suite. I dampened ten sheets and there actually are ten Mao prints. Most pictures of them show nine. Dave thought the color on the tenth was weird and he didnt like it. I screwed up on the registration so bad on one print that it couldn’t be in the group so i reprinted it and didnt do the tenth weird one. I’m happy with the project.it’s cool how the plate deteriorates and has lots of noise by the end.
