Prints of Ships


Duchess

Recommended Posts

I've been working on a complicated process of designing and 3D printing relief plates. Then using the plates those to create the basis of 1/1 editions with a common printed element. The common element here is ,very loosely, a 16th century caravel.

Alright, I'm intrigued. How/What are you doing this exactly?

3D Printing a block print?

Basically. I call it a plate since I've only been doing them about 3mm thick.

  1. Start with a sketch
  2. Photograph it, since I don't have a scanner
  3. Bring it into photo software, clean it up into a two color image.
  4. Convert it to a 3D model (okay there's really like a dozen steps here, but you get the idea.)
  5. Print the 3D plate
  6. Use a printing press to print the image
  7. Paint. This step might involve various stages and resists depending on what I'm going.

In this case, the basic image is just the line work of the ship. Everything else is added at the end.

I want one. VG Starry Night version. 🙂

Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."

Oh, I thought you were still making them. VG - Van Gogh. ;)

Ah. I am. Or more accurately, I could be. I'm not sure I'm any good at working to a brief though. :P
