Astronaut

,Long overdue but here's my second mailer + process for it

YEAHYEAHYEAHYEAHYEAH

Inner Conflict

 Finally done! I like it a lot, my friend suggested that I put a shadow under her feet which makes sense. oh photoshop! lalalalalaalalala shitty webcam in progress.

My friday nights are pretty sweet

Remember this? Yeah yeah yeah! Just an in progress scan. It's kinda fun to do details until the wood chips and then you feel like dying a little inside.
I'm pretty sure there's a neater/cleaner way of carving away things. My block looks like a murder victim.
Yay laundry time!

Process

ess ess esss
Just some process work for my next printmaking ..print. it's a 14inch x 18 inch hardground etching.
I don't know how it's going to translate exactly since the darkness of line depends on the amount of time the plate is in the acid for. so I'm not sure if I should work on the darker parts first then move onto the lighter parts so the acid has more time to make the darks darker?

oyhoo I hate thinking. Just been so burnt out this week.
anyways these are just some thumbnails. I was attracted to the left most two on the middle row. but I'd already done a yak/llama type print already and the other one looked really similar to a preexisting piece of work. it seems like I've been running into this problem when I find myself using the same compositions/subject matter/layout as other people. I did a drypoint that looks like a sam weber painting. ffffffffffffffffffffffffff. It kills me to think that I'm doing something original only to have someone else point out that it's been done before. fasjlkfajsfjlff
