Over the years, through experimentation, I have further refined and perfected the process of 3-D construction. I have outlined here, just how a typical Rizzi print gets made. |
 |
It is multi-step process that starts with an ink drawing on a large sheet of paper. |

This color drawing and a color-coded black and white duplicate are sent to my printer who returns several proofs for refinement. |
| The printer collaborates with me on exact specifications and finally prints two identical silkscreens for each final edition piece.. |
 |
I then cut elements from one of the prints and affix them with double-sided foam tape to its zwin on the base print thus creating the 3-D construction. |
 |
Painstaking care is given to the elevation of the cutouts. Ski slopes are steep, then flat (see Mountains of Fun) and buildings appear to leap out at the viewer. |
 |
The results of the process are celebrations of life; Buy Your Gal Some Flowers, and cities; Drawing Attention. I've got a bunch of new ideas and I'm playing with new techniques, but I guess you'll just have to stop back to see what they are. Besides, I don't want to give away all may trade secrets! |
