The Art of The Print ~ Rahmir Powell

Printmaking is a process where you use ink to make drawings of anything from wood. This idea was brought about in the 15th Century by Daniel Hopfer, who's known for his revolutionary printmakings and you could say he was way before his time. His influence on those around him caught on and soon more and more people got involved, and mastered the art. The history of printmaking is so important because it's branched off into many styles today. 

The image below is very creative and most definitely caught my attention when I first saw it. The first thing I noticed is that there is very little color, but that's what brings out the beauty of of the print. Allen Iverson himself is outlined in black and all negative space is filled in nicely.
