Artist unknown, about 1940
Straight from the British Museum... and from the artwork descriptive panel:
"The Battle of Adwa is a popular subject with Ethiopian artists. It shows Emperor Menelik II (top left) ant the imparial Ethiopian army defeating a large Italian colonial force. Menelik's wife, Empress Taitu (bottom left), is shown holding a revolver. In the centre of the picture two other important figures are depicted. they are the Governor of Adwa, Dajazmach Balca Abba Nafso (with cannon), and the Commander of the Ethiopian forces, Fitawrari Gabayyahu (on horseback). The faces of the Italians and their allies are mainly painted in profile, while the Ethiopians ae painted full face. This was an Ethiopian convention fro showing the forces of good and evil.
The triumphant victory at Adwa brought Ethiopia to the world's attention, strengthening the country's image as defender of African independence. Ethiopia became an inspiration for the African continent and for Africans around the world.

Luchador Collab-o-Mask....
I mailed out wrestler masks made of wood to various artists and asked them to paint their style in to the background of the mask. They worked out their design and returned the mask to Me and I stenciled in the details of the face.

Trying out the new lasercutter at work, I made an enlarged version of an old growth form. This is cut from 6mm black acrylic - works pretty nicely as a heat mat.
Sunny, sleepy morning July 21, 2016
Very close to the border between Poland and Chech Republic. A mountain resort a bit forgotten after the break up of the kommunist regime. This charming square is not spoilt by modernity and I will provide more information once I have made a print later this summer.
13 x 18 cm
The construction of the camera doea not allow for much movement so pretty heavy vignetting is often present. Not that I mind it it is however not the limitation of the lens. I now found a replacement for this camera, a half plate Imperial Thornton Pickard which will take over for this purpose, travels in Poland.

f 9 exposed for 1 min 15 sec
dev. 60 min in standard 0.8% gallic acid followed by 2 x 10 min 12% hypo pentahydrate routine.
The first test salt print is telling me to og for lower contast so 105 silver and 3,4% salt would be the next try, light retouching is in place now (after this scan)
Mordancage is kind of hard to explain. Essentially, it takes your b&w image and allows you to manipulate or remove the purest black areas. You can also create these lovely 'veils' of black but again, hard to explain. Once I have a successful image, I will scan it in and show you what I mean! =)
Edit: Ah, I should probably explain what's going on, lol.
1) I placed my print (after it's been soaking in water for a bit) in the mordancage chemicals. It's essential an acid that will bleach your print.
2) The image after it's been bleached for 3 minutes. I left it in for an extra three minutes after this shot.
3) Then I placed it developer so that the grays and other tones will come back. The blacks should be visible and able to be lifted off the print.
You can either completely remove the black or you can move it around. It creates really cool effects.
This is my first Mordançage print! It is soooo sooo fun watching it transform!
