50 Gráficas por MAPECO “Miradas sobre la niñez”

We are participating in a Mexican print project organized by Samuel Díaz Gaona, "a nombre del Taller Escuela Manuel Pérez Coronado." The project is called “50 Gráficas por MAPECO “Miradas sobre la niñez” -- 50 Prints by MAPECO " A look towards childhood." The sponsoring print studio is in Uruapan, Michoacán, Mexico.

We were very impressed with the printmakers in Uruapan when we visited their studio in 2019 at MAPECO, as part of the Ambos Lados tour of Mexico.

HnRЯRy Print Collaboration

Henry Morales and I created a collaboration print for the project at "Studio M," Henry's studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico. We are calling ourselves "HnRЯRy" Colectivo.

I started the collaboration print by giving Henry Morales one of my 3D drawings from March 16th. I doctored it up in Photoshop Elements, and printed it out on a transparency. We stuck that transparency onto the linoleum, and Henry Morales cut it out, after adding his own elements to the print.
