Indium V.2
I wanted to experiment with printing an oil based etching over a water based screen print so I pulled out this etched copper plate . I quickly hand painted a screen with drawing fluid and screen filler and printed the background green with a loose mix of grey. I was told the oil wouldn't stick to the screen print ink. Obviously, it worked just fine.
I used warm, washed out green tones for this time around, rather than the bright blues and cold black of the first edition.. Then I added some colored pencil lines to old it up a little more. While the registration isn't as exact this time around, I think it looks a little bit more worn out and vintagey, closer to what I wanted the first time around.
Available in my etsy shop.

Great print! I was just wondering about printing an oil based etching over a water based lino print and if it would work - so this may answer the question! I will just go for it! Thanks!

Very nice effect. I agree the "mis" alignment works well here, gives a nice vintage feel. Thanks for including info about your methods.
