detail of original ink drawing

original and his first descendant

The image reproduction technique I used for this piece was a transparency transfer. It requires documentation of the original, an inkjet print on a transparency, matte medium and a spoon to burnish the image onto the paper. Visually, I really like how this method reveals the pigment the printer uses to reproduce a black ink drawing, and also how the matte medium rips the transferred image. It truly distorts the original make up of the cheetah and deteriorates the copies of him.
