"Akin's Annunciation"...in progress

This print is a response to Todd Akin's quoted about "legitimate rape" and his thought that a woman can just "shut that whole thing down" when being raped to prevent pregnancy.  What a disgusting excuse for a human being.

This print will follow the same formula as "Charmed Out Of Your Basket"

It begins with a four color lithograph printed from photo plates.  The transparencies were aligned to the iron oxide sketch on my stone using pin registration.  Printing the four color process first allows me to begin drawing while the first four colors of the print are drying rather than waiting until the drawing is complete to begin printing.
 time to draw...




 The drawing is finished and the autographic ink is applied.  Ready for the etch...
 Inked up in black on the stone...
The final layer is a grey the overlaps the stained glass imagery to pop it out from the white paper...6 colors total.
