This series contains artworks in various mediums and materials produced by Lighter from the 1950s through the 2000s. The work contained in this series cannot be associated with particular paid or commissioned design projects.

The bulk of this series consists of woodcut print blocks and prints. The blocks and prints are housed in separate locations, and—except when explicitly indicated—each entry includes both a block and at least one print. Though the majority of the prints are undated, they all seem to date from the mid-1950s through the early 1960s.

Pen and ink drawings and cartoons make up another significant section of this series. Most of these works date from the 1950s and 1960s, although there are also a number of sketches from the 2000s.

Later in his life, in the 1990s and 2000s, Lighter began to work more in watercolors, and this series holds many of these works on individual watercolor boards, as well as his workbooks. There are also a number of reproductions of these works.

There is also a small cache of acrylic paintings on boards, one landscape from 1977 and a series of paintings from 1992.

Finally, this series holds three of Lighter’s sketchbooks containing pencil sketches. Two of these workbooks represent work from early in Lighter’s career, from 1949-50, while a third, containing several self-portraits, dates from 1986-90.
