A Visual Voice!
A Visual Voice: A printmaking unit tackling social injustice.
<---Artist: Colin Matthes
Presidential Debates
I never thought I would make a print about presidential elections, but here it is. I made this print for a travelling show called art of democracy.
The recent financial bailouts have have added to this pre-bailout print.
There are a few different versions of this print-black and yellow on brown, just black on brown, black and yellow on grey, and black on grey. ..they all look pretty similar.
