Back Lane - WIP  2015 - CollageI have been taking a print workshop with Agustin Rojas.  Now I remember loving to work in the print shop at school – hours.  It has been so long that I have forgotten a lot.  I am pleased to remember at all. The Collage above shows how much work I did in 4 days.

1) drawing – idea

2) 1st proof of drypoint

3) 2nd proof – more drypoint

4) 3rd proof – 1st aquatint

Now I have reworked the plate with more dry-point and burnishing. I have a proof of that as well so I can rework it again & now for the 5th proof I hope to be nearer the end. Here is the full image a few work days ago – may post the final images.Back Lane - Aquatint WIP  2015 (640x400)sgnd

Solar Capsule-02

The egg-shaped ecocapsule portable house allows the traveller to camp in extreme corners of the world, with the luxury of a hotel room.

This compact home measures 4.5meters (length) 2.4 meters (width) and 2.5 meters (height). It weighs about 1500 kg, and includes a bed, toilet, shower, plus a kitchenett to prepare your hot meals.

The eco capsule doesn’t require an external power source, but relies entirely on a built-in wind turbine and solar panels for energy, with a high capacity battery ensuring sufficient stored energy for times of decreased sunlight and minimal wind activity. It also collects and filters rainwater and dew for drinking and showering.

This is an interesting project – working small in the ACEO tradition.  The portrait is hard enough but smallness makes you hesitate.  When you enlarge the image it is something it shouldn’t be.

An ACEO is an artist trading card – now available for purchase to anyone.  They are the size of a baseball card – 2.5 x 3.5 inches.  The medium can be anything.
