Etched Plate and Ink Press - 1990 |
| This picture started life off as a an incredibly trite pencil sketch which was abhorred my junior college art instructor. However, being the exuberant (and stubborn) youth I was, I stuck with it. The sketch was then transferred to a meticulously etched zinc press plate. The end result yielded several prints of various colors. However, the first test sheet was overly wet and came out looking rather weathered with a nostalgic feel (purely accidental and totally un-reproducible) and remains one of my favorites. My art instructor never did approve of my choice of subjects and I ended up dropping the class. |
