Printing my turtle logo.
I've had this turtle art for many years and finally had the time to use it. 
I set up two presses so that I could print the background color in register with the line art.
My projects usually take a path of their own and this one was no different. 
When I started out I was only going to print a couple hundred cards with a yellow background. 
After 100 cards I thought maybe a little dab of blue ink on the disk would give it a transition of color, like an actual turtle shell.
I ended up keeping the job on the press for over three days experimenting with different colors and ended up with over 1,200 cards (shells). I can't wait to see what path they take.

I made two videos showing the two press set-up.
