Lithograph Print - "man, woman, machine" brief

Burgeoning litho project. With a laborious prep process and cumbersome mechanics it was feeling tenuous for a while but once production begins, and the results of a 200 year old process start to show i was seduced. I found  the bloke sunbathing in the imperial war museum's park and drew up a sketch from a sneaky photo stolen in the city sunshine. I have plans for a series -entirely litho, of men in particularly inadvertently feminine poses. Only after using the plate did i understand the litho specific printing possibilities. I could easily have produced a print of this nature in silk screen as i wasn't drawing straight onto the plate -one of the most enticing features of litho's endowments.
