A little while ago I went to the Revolution on Paper exhibition at the British Museum. I love the idea that art and printmaking were used as a way to communicate revolutionary ideas to the people. It was incredibly inspiring and one of the principle reasons I began printmaking. I would love to be able to produce work which is somewhere near to being this good one day.

This is something I worked on this afternoon with the idea of making a card and some wrapping paper. Came out pretty well I thought.
