Ive been etching with with aquatint an all! :)

Its a very enjoyable process which... i have... enjoyed!

Ive found that a huge variety of marks can be made when using both the hardground etching and aquatint, i also like that each colour print is ever so slightly different, which gives a unique quality to each print of the same thing. Ive also invested in a fairly cheep, half decent camera that a friend was selling, so thats why these pictures aren't quite as grainy or grimey as the usual ones :D (the ones that werent previously were from borrowed cameras)

When i leave college in july im going to miss the print facilities, but im mooving out so hey, its going to be good!! However... money is needed to survive off until i get a proper job, so im going to be cheeky and say, anyone wanna buy a print? name a price? not looking for alot... 100% of all money goes towards a starving artist! DONATE NOW AND GET A FREE PRINT!! ;)

But seriously... c'mon, please?

Also, Download Festival looks good this year (Cancer Bats, Refused, The James Cleaver Quintet and many many more bands are playing)

Not feeling charitable? dont blame you... Thanks for reading and looking with your eyes :)

First of all i am going to apologise for the awfull

photographic quality of these images, i have no money for a decent camera, so nasty, grainy, grey-ish photos shall have to do, untill i stumble across a Leprechaun (the hunt has begun) or get adopted by a million heir and then can afford a good camera. but bad quality pictures are better than no pictures right?

Well here they are anyway!!

This is where i have lived since the age of about 2 or 3 and the opening sampling of Lost by Neurosis did get me thinking, most of my powerfull childhood memories are based in this part of the village i grew up in, well i supose im still growing up but do we ever stop growing and evolving to an extent? Well thats besides the point i guess.

Here are some of my paintings and drawings of the place :)
