Why did we buy so much yellow ink?

Peter Rukavina

Our printshop has ended up, for reasons neither Lisa nor I can remember, with an uncommon amount of yellow ink. 

Some of this yellow in is Akua Diarylide Yellow, which is a rich, lovely yellow that cries out to be used.

I took advantage of this yellow-glut yesterday, carving a lino block of an abstract sun into Japanese vinyl, and printing 50 copies to become part of a larger date book project I’m working on:

A grid of 25 small cards, each printed with an abstract yellow sun, laid out on a black table to dry.
