Printmaking is a messy business! these are the copper acid etched plates after they have been inked up. To ink up you must spread the thick sticky ink onto the plate with a scraper. then with a piece of tarlatan (wide meshed material) rub the ink into the lines. Then with another piece of tarlatan rub the ink back, so the areas free of etched lines come up like polished copper. Finally a quick wipe with a page from the phone book and clean up the edges and you are ready to place the plate onto the press bed and make a print. If you want another print you must repeat this inking up process again.
Here is my take of the pandora myth, I think maybe the half smile is because all the ills of the world are very phallic.

Day 16: Print
Printmaking: the process of making artworks by printing designs onto paper. Often researched in secondary school art classes, (where I learned the process), printmaking most often covers only the process of creating prints with a certain element of originality, rather than just being a photographic reproduction of a painting. My friend Jenny certainly took that to heart when she created this portrait depicting an evil version of me with my pet bat, Diego. And I love her for it.
There are several techniques and avenues for printmaking and they can be very tedious. But as you can see, the end result for those who put their heart into their pieces, the results are amazing with highly detailed images.
I will always treasure this print from my dear friend.
