Andrew Bawidamann print

Ok, so I etched out the plate the other night as you can see, and yesterday in class I got this done! I was going to leave it just as black line, but decided to layer some more colours over it to give a weird 3D effect!

No, the camera isn't out of focus, the print itself just looks all trippy!

Andrew Bawidamann plate

I etched out a plate tonight for Print class tomorrow. It's a picture by Andrew Bawidamann, real 50s style, I think its called Dirty Martini. See we're doing this project now, and long story short: I chose girl-power as my theme! For those who don't know, Andrew Bawidamann is a pin-up artist, he's got a great style and his women are great big curvy gals (like myself, I guess!) so I think he's really cool. Look him up, or you can find him on http://www.thepinupfiles.com.

Intagglio Plate

Im really looking forward to seeing how this intagglio plate turns out. I traced it from a Luis Royo sketch from his Secrets book. I'm going to use carborundum on it as well, see how it turns out.

Intaglio Koi

I carved this little guy out on the train one day. Anyone who regularly commutes in or out of Dublin knows how horrible those evening trains are; I was so glad to have this to keep me busy, and it turned out nice as a print.

Intaglio Flower

This is a flower I drew and transferred to an intagglio plate and printed. I was really proud of it!
