TECHNIQUES

Joseph Zirker has developed two major printmaking techniques that use acrylics, gels and media to make monotype and intaglio prints.  He holds US Patent 6,662,143 B2 for a printmaking process. A second patent application is pending.

His process blends printmaking with artistic talent to create monotypes, monoprints, editionable intaglio prints, collages and 3-dimensional works of art without the use of printing presses.
