For the final crustacean of May and the “really not a crab” prompt for #InsertAnInvert2024 I have opted for a far more common (and frankly less terrifying) little creature than the suggested species (that even our crustacean expert called “absolute abominations”). This little cutie on the other hand, is a freshwater water flea. Daphnia longispina is a planktonic crustacean of the 🧵1/n

Circular green Tetrapak intaglio print of Daphnia longispina, a tiny planktonic crustacean of the family Daphniidae, a cladoceran native to Eurasia. Only about 2 mm long, it’s found in all sorts of standing freshwater bodies from rock-pools to large lakes.

Happy #printdayinmay2024 #printdayinmay y’all.

Spent the afternoon finally printing the first telephone pole #drypoint #etching plate

I’d torn the paper a couple weeks back, but didn’t get to the #printmaking part until today!

Things that went well:
* water level in paper controlled with sprayer and blotting
* oil-based speedball block ink working better than others so far
* understood that wood spoon is the best pressure (compared to speedball baren)
* understood that work’s presses are both too small and inconsistent pressure to handle a 10x7 inch plate
Black and white drypoint etching on Stonehenge paper hangs from wire. Held up by small red plastic sewing / craft spring clips. Clips suspended from a fine wire. Cardstock is used to extend the clips to prevent the teeth marks of the clips from making an impression on the paper as it hangs to dry. In the background is a messy workshop.
A white plastic slab with black printmaking ink rolled out by a speedball brand rubber brayer. This is speedball water soluble oil based ink for block printing. Adjacent is a water based black ink. A workshop sink is on the left. Coffee supplies are on the counter to the right. An R2D2 lunchbox full of etching tools and supplies is behind the block. A redwood countertop stops at a baby blue wall.

A plexiglass etching plate held by my right hand. It is held over a prepared printing surface. The glass is marked for placing the plate. Marks for placing paper are further out. Card stock shims are taped to make a jig to hold the plate in the same place. In the background is a 15x10” piece of Stonehenge paper, dry and turned horizontal. The plate is not inked. In the background is a workshop and tools. Also some photos hung on a baby blue wall.

bon de la pointe sèche, je grave sur du plexiglas ; là c'est imprimé sur du papier Wenzhou, (premiers tirages) c'est pas cher. Mais bon à savoir, un rouleau de papier Kraft à deux euros supporte très bien la gravure taille douce (pas le clairefontaine, c'est un papier kraft que j'ai trouvé à carrefour). Je poste çà, voilà

gravure taille douce à partir d'un dessin d'après modèle vivant. J'utilise un compas à la place de la pointe sèche et du plexiglas à la place du cuivre ou zinc
sur cette gravure, on a l'impression que le train vient vers nous comme si je me rejouais l'un des premiers films des frères Lumière
gravure où l'on voit la gare, importance des imbrications entre différents espaces à savoir, le quai et les rails, la passerelle au dessus, les escalier, la présence d'une rangée de poteaux. Quelques personnes déambulent ici ou là

Experimenting with Tetrapak printing Daphnia, weird little planktonic crustaceans a few millimetres in length known as water fleas.

This one is Daphnia longispina, a Eurasian fresh water flea found in bodies of water of various sizes, as small as rock pools up to large lakes. They mainly eat algae.

Tetrapak printing is something you can do with Tetrapak containers - in this case an empty box of juice!

A grid of 6 Tetrapak intaglio prints of Daphnia longispina in green ink on 5” x 7” white papers laid out on a tabletop with a cutting mat on top. The circular printed area is embossed on the larger rectangular sheets of paper. The prints are varied. The water fleas (basically an oval shaped transparent animal with a pointed spike at the bottom, with head fused on its body and arms pointing out to the left, some internal organs and little green spots which are embryos can be seen) are printed with varied amounts of ink wiped off the plate.

For the #SciArtSeptember prompt talon, I thought I would experiment with dry point on aluminum can! I’ve been thinking about using trash (or in this case something from the recycling bin) to make art. I cut open the pop can and made a flat rectangle of thin aluminum. I did a quick sketch based on photos of harpy eagle talons, then incised the drawing into the aluminum.

Small drypoint etching tinted with ochre gouache of a harpy eagle talon clutching a branch.
The hand cut incised eagle talon and branch aluminum plate next to a wooden ruler showing it’s only 7 cm tall.

A number of years ago I was accepted into a juried show for LGBTQIA artists. I chose to do a few editions of prints. I'm going to share some of those images in an effort to share my art here since I chose this instance to connect with artists!

This is a drypoint print I hand etched of a feather. This image was used as an album cover after being slightly digitally altered.

We are 10% through our #OldEnglish Poetry in Facsimile Junius 11 edition of Genesis A&B. Long way to go, but the hard work of starting is done.

When finished in August, it will be 70% of the OE poetic corpus edited to digital facsimile.

Track progress & check out 225+ other editions here: oepoetryfacsimile.org

For now, enjoy a great #drypoint drawing of St. Michael (?) w/ a bossed shield fighting a dragon (?) !!
