We drew at Sir Henry Morales' studio in Albuquerque.
I drew/carved into Expanded PVC Foam and Henry printed it after the model left:
The variety of lines
might have made this
my most successful figure print yet
Finally I carved out the contour of the figure with a linocut knife, and then Henry inked it for printing:
Henry "kisses" the paper first,
pressing it into the linocut with an Iron Frog
Then Henry pulls the roller over the print
with his old Letterpress press
We followed a similar process to print the AI generated linocut generated by Leonardo.AI, which I engraved into linoleum with the laser cutter at Quelab. I also worked Maya Blue pigment into plate oil to make a blu printmaking ink:
Inked with Maya Blue pigment color
The Maya Blue print on the left
came out nicer than the black print on the right
OTHER PRINTS
Henry also printed two of his foam plates and one of Cassandra's linocuts:

Pulling out all the PVC worms
with tweezers
Printed on two slightly different colored papers
with black ink
The foam was spray painted black
before carving
Almost carved
Inked and ready to print
on the Letterpress bed
The final print

Cassandra's Print
Henry quickly carved a contour around Cassandra's linocut:
