Ready For Proofing

The momentum is flowing here in the studio and I've made it all the way to this point with my plate in a mater of a couple days.  For something of this size and detail, I think it's pretty good pace for me!




From this point I'm ready to do a first proof of the plate and then make the necessasary adjustments to values from there.  At this stage I think things are looking pretty good and should only need bumping of tones to get them where I want for the finished print.

Tomorrow I'll start work on another plate which is about 6 times larger than this one~

I'm Back!

I'm Back!

Thanks to a serious onslaught of freelance work, the move into a new home, and a baby.... it's been a good long minute since getting the opportunity to make anything! ;  let alone post about it :)

Anyways,  I'm back in attack for the next 3 months as I prepare for an upcoming exhibition late September.

As of 2 days ago, I've begun the process of preparing the first of a body of print-work I'm expecting to complete for the show.

While the show may or may not be exclusively mezzotint work, I'm staying true to working in this technique to start, and we'll see if thing diverge from there.  This small 4x6 plate is the beginning of what i'm hoping will be a series of  6-10  small prints in the same vein.

I'll be starting in on 4 larger 30cm x40cm plates next week that will follow the same tangent as this print completed earlier this year.



Enjoy!

Finally!

So i finally nailed it! After 3 laborious attempts at completing this print I finally got a good proof and I'll now print the edition. I'll leave it at that... What a relief!
