Prints by Ryan Gilliam

As the dates on the artwork will show you, print making was something I was really into a long time ago. Though I intend to venture back into print making someday, my current place is in drawing and painting. Most of my prints were done via lacquer transfer. I made images on the computer and print them off on glossy paper. Then I would use the lacquer thinner to make the image transferable on to a wet piece of paper. These images are created by using several drawings and overlaying them using this technique. It works great but make sure you have ventilation.Of course I dabbled in lithography and etching too. Still, as of 2008, I haven't made any type of return to print making.
