printing has been around since medieval times, thanks to the Gutternberg Printing press. If it weren't for printing, we wouldn't have lutheranism, books, or modern pop art drawings. Today, artist use printing as a type of media. There are three main types: Relief, Lithography, and Intaligo.

6:35 AM.   A rainy Monday morning.   You sigh, the weight of your damp backpack being shrugged off of your shoulders as you set it on the other side of your seat on the bus. You lay your head onto the side window of the bus, but quickly pull it away as you feel your brain turn into a smoothie. You suppose you'll just crane your neck to check your surroundings.   The rain is almost ended, the golden yellow, peaches and blues peeking through the clouds. little rays of sunlight peek through as well, as if the hypothetical heaven itself was showing itself through the clouds.

I also used a painterly blender brush, in order to give this some texture. I also used a screen tone to give it that pop art look. overall, I had a blast, and I want to do this so much more oft...
