  1. thanks. did 90% of it on an airplane, which wasn't so easy.
  2. switch, that page is sexy as hell. wish you had posted it bigger.
  3. flip, that skull pops off that page. pristine shit...
  4. Thanks for the advice guys. Never thought about making all the letters the same width, just the bars. But I can see how obvious that is now.
  5. Just starting out. Trying to keep it simple. Crits always welcome.
  6. RE: linocuts I'm a printmaker by trade, and found masonite to be really user friendly as far as beginning intaglio. It doesn't flake or chip easily.
  7. If you are going to use the ferric chloride on the plates, you also need a resist like a hard or soft ground to block out parts. It's available at Dick Blick online or some other good art store. I heard rumors that Sharpies and paint pens work too. But copper plates are so expensive, I've been wary of ruining one. But if you want to try it, let me know. Also, make sure you do it in a plastic tub, not metal. And agitate it every so often so the bubbles don't ruin the precision of the image. A lot of processes fall under the term intaglio, like drypoint, aquatint, engraving... Oh, and remember if you are printing the plates on paper, everything appears backwards.
  8. Some quick (under 2 minute) character sketches made on public transportation today. Any lettering is just filler. Maybe going to develop them for some slaps.
  9. Found a few paintings from awhile ago. Crits are always welcome.
