International Peace Day is on 21 September (Monday in Australia). I wanted to get a set of Rainbow Peace mini-posters (A5) completed before the day. I printed the backgrounds a couple of weeks ago. The ink was thick and in overlapping layers so it has taken a while to dry. It was further complicated by the fact that there was a smear of vegetable oil on one section the glass inking plate; and this got mixed in with the yellow and has caused it to dry more slowly and to get a dappled effect on some backgrounds.
Anyway as you can see I did get a series of the posters done - opaque white over the rainbow colours. The worn wooden type results in a a good textured look - and the message is - peace might be imperfect but it is better than hate, fear, brutality, oppression.
Because I could I decided to print some white on grey. Different presentations of peace. You might see a bit of yellow and blue has transferred to the first run of grey posters. It was picked up from one of the wetter rainbow backgrounds at the end of the rainbow print run.
White on black scraps of very textured and fibrous paper; plus a bit of copper dust on a couple..
All in the name of peace - imagine it.
(((Barry))) love your work for Peace!
