The Tree of Life
I know many have seen this print before, but it is still one of my favorite print I have done.
The Tree of Life is a mezzo tint, with a map of the world chine-cole'ed on top. The Tree of Life is very meaningful to me, in a way it grounds me. Reminding me that color, race, or gender are not a factor in life, that we are all connected and equal.
Since I have graduated, I have not done anything to extraordinary and am still in the process of figuring my life out; which turned out to be more difficult than I imagined. I randomly moved to Kenosha because Lisa (my roommate for the past two years) moved there and needed a roommate. I am interning at the Rockford Art Museum, which I really enjoy. There has been a little freelance design work, and I am also bar tending on the side for some extra money. Oh, and I miss the print shop and everyone in it.

This is beautiful. I love how you chin cole-ed the map on top, and the tree is such a universal symbol that I think everyone can connect to this print.
Great job tackling mezzo tint, it looks sick. Love the chin coled map on the back too. You should come back to the shop for a visit sometime soons.
