Artist's Comments
This is my very first drypoint print!!!
10 x 8 cm
I'm beginning to learn this traditional way, I'm very excited!.
Drypoint is a printmaking technique of the intaglio family, in which an image is incised into a plate (or "matrix") with a hard-pointed "needle" of sharp metal or diamond point. Traditionally the plate was copper, but now acetate, zinc, or plexiglas are also commonly used. Like etching, drypoint is easier for an artist trained in drawing to master than engraving, as the technique of using the needle is closer to using a pencil than the engraver's burin.
I prefer not to add names to the quotes I post in my signature. I believe that people should agree to this quote by Ghandi because they feel that way in their heart, not simply because he was the one who said it (no offense to Gandhi of course, that man's my hero)
this is a lovely print! if you're interested, try etching into a ubex sheet. plexi glass produced sharper lines, which i'm guessing you used, while ubex produces a "burr" i believe its called, which is a burrow that happens when you scratch into it. The burr makes blurrier, but not so noticeable, which is an interesting technique to try.
There is no way to measure an artist, or their work, because nothing matters, but their vision. Their acceptance by the rest of the world is merely external.
We want to know what love means to you!
Get your creative juices flowing and design a movie poster for "Paper Heart" that focuses on the theme "What Does Love Mean to Me?".

When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
