Phil has talked to me about kitchen litho before, so it was quite fun closure to get to do a workshop on it with him.
A lot of the illustrators I’ve talked to that were in the workshop or have done this module didn’t like kitchen litho much at all. I really quite enjoyed the process, and was pleasantly surprised at how quickly and effectively it yielded results!
All of these images were drawn with chocolate! The chocolate was incredibly effective at keeping the grease marks.
The images were inspired by work I’ve done in my sketchbook before, specifically this double page spread.
The big thing that would stop me from continuing this line of printmaking is just how messy and contrived the process is. Of course it CAN be done, so I’ll keep it under my belt in case a future brief lends itself to creating images with this sort of quality.
I also made some notes on the process and drabbled a bit of writing after a scene came into my head.
