Print has started off with a bang as we leap right into etching steel plates and dipping them in acid! Nothing else has such a bite. Originally, I was looking at some ideas regarding knitting and crochet. A specific slogan, "knit fast, die warm" had caught my attention but I had changed my mind to a more personal and sensitive topic then my sass. BUT before I did that I did a tiny test plate.
It's not awful for my first print of the season, especially when I have so much trouble with realism. The text is from an obscure British TV show called Death In Paradise and it's probably the best combination of words I could have extracted from the show.
And now for some work regarding my family. I'm interested in family and community recently as well as memory. I keep drawing this photograph over and over again so it's probably time to make it into something like a print!

Sketchbook scans are to come so you can see my weird, messy, and vivid thought process.
