Darwin's Blade

This is my first print in a year and a half, a chine-colle. I was a bit rusty around the press but once I got back into the flow of things it was all smooth sailing.


Our project was to produce art that was created by a system of chance. For this particular print, I clicked on the random article button on Wikipedia and then did a Google Image search of the results ("Galveodon", a prehistoric Spanish mammal). The first image was this bizarre image of a half-man half-ape Charles Darwin which I then replicated and superimposed over the Wikipedia text.
