Here is the second state of my cubist inspired guitar print. It is an etching done on a zinc plate. I think im gonna do a series of them...
Etching 2nd state 2012
Hi. Last week I posted a picture of a zinc plate with a guitar that I am working on. Well earlier this week I did a test print of it. It was ok. Two of my finger prints etched into the plate :( so I will have to burnish them out or put some sort of texture on it possibly with aquatint. I forgot my plate at home so I couldn't work on it.
Todays rainy morning was a perfect day for printmaking. I actually spent all day cutting, beveling, sanding, six copper plates. I never printed on copper plates so I will have to use ferric acid on them to etch.
Here is the first print of the guitar...
Etching first print 2012 my two finger prints are on the top left and right sides.
Hi here is a zinc plate i just etched this past friday…I ended touching the plate before i put it in acid so you can see to of my finger prints etched. I’ll probably put some aquatint over it or burnish those out…

Here is what I have printed so far in printmaking class with Jim Lorigan. They are mono-prints, meaning that each is one of a kind; or that only one can be printed. We did linocuts yesterday but i dont have pics of them but i cant wait to start etching...also sorry for the lame titles; I dont know what they are yet...enjoy.
