Principles and Practice of Illustration Part Two (Holy Cow), Starting Point.

My starting point for this part of the project actually comes from a very random piece of positive news I thought about while we were discussing news with the class. Pluto gets reclassified as a planet. 

This is a letterpress I created of a rocket off to Pluto, putting a twist on the classic I love you to the moon and back I was thinking of something more like I love you to Pluto and back? 

Still, on the space theme, I gave my hand at dry-point, another type of printing I have never done before. Dry-point is a printing technique from the intaglio family. This dry-point I created of an astronaut fishing for planets was inspired by the illustration "my childhood universe" by ilovedoodle (I will post about this later). This has gone on to help create my idea of "A positive twist" gumball machine.
