Another lithograph, a proper old-fashioned stone process this time! So basically, I drew this picture on a lithograph stone with grease/litho pencils, did some detail scratching with a razor blade, chemically etched the drawing into the stone, and finally printed fifteen of the things.
I'm quite happy with this...and was so afraid of breaking my stone, overdoing the etch, over-inking, and generally messing it up <em>every step of the way</em>, holy jesus

The lightening is perfect and I love the composition, the scratchy, textured feeling and the contrast makes me think of old fairytale illustrations, which were also a big inspiration for me when I was a kid.
This reminded me that I never did note you about the tube. I recieved it a couple of weeks ago and seeing the pictures in real life blew me away. Your art is one of the first things I will hang on my wall when I get my own place (dormlife is crowded and intimate and where the heck is my wall space?), no kidding!
PS. If you were ever to sell this, how much would you charge? These latest pictures of your have two things I love, dinosaurs and plants, mashed together so deliciously. I'd also love to trade you one of my originals if you're one to hang art on your walls. IDK, sorry if I seem pushy and creepy.
Sending you a note very soon with a proper response, Corner. Just...let it be known that MY GRATITUDE IS ENDLESS.
Printing is such a messy process but it is fun.
