This week I have been experimenting again with relief printing, in the above small prints, which are sections of previous drawings.  It has given me a good understanding of the kind of mark making I need to make in consideration with the kind of imagery I am using in relation to Chinese social networking sites and physical architectural layout plans.  I have also been experimeting with oil based and water based inks and pressure levels on the press.  I am now drawing up a larger print, this time in wood, so I will let you know how it goes.
