Printnimation​

​

This is my term for classical animations created by combining a series of prints to create classical animation. 

Monotype allows one to use the "ghost" of the previous image (left on the metal plate after it goes through the press) as a guide to the next image, the same way animators use onion-skin.

 

Etching and drypoint meanwhile are irreversible techniques -  once engraved into the metal plate, the image will never come off. So instead of replacing each other, the images will pile up one on top of the other, creating a “shadow” of movement, and eventually inking in the entire sheet of paper.
