print/ repeat

so, in the spirit of the mayan codex, i made some symbols to describe a frame of mind/ a series of events. right now, print/ repeat. started out printing them in a storyboard way, but found repition in rows much more visually pleasing. think i can still tell a story this way. good news: more than halfway done.
other news: with the first layer of prints.
p.s. other news: first time using acrylics for a surface so i do not know if i am finishing or ruining this piece yet...
can't wait to find out. since blobby is next!!!

just something to show i'm working


building up layers of thin acrylic on this, one more coat on the dot, and printing with the acrylics is next. just another process shot, since i'm waiting for acrylic to dry. also working on bondo with the blobby, but took a day off from the messy sanding since i have a cold.
tried using acrylic medium to thin the paint, but it looked a little more plastic than i liked, so most likely just water from here on.
