Happy birthday to you in your happy birthday sweater!

Happy Fungus standing on my grumpy head. I’m wearing a cute knitted sweater with a blushing monster face on the front and fish on the sleeves

birthday

Splintery, incredibly heavy canvas stretcher except instead of the finger jointed corners on a normal stretcher that let you tighten the canvas there are flat face-to-face joins with solid screws through them

Guys, how do I explain to my teacher that his canvas stretchers are evil?

I'll DM you some!

Fungus in a radiator cover looking out through a snow caked window. There are an abundance of potted plants in the dimly lit room.

Really appreciate it when people introduce me to music I've never heard before on here! Sharing!!

Really love this

Many thanks!

Solder and lithographic crayon on copper board. A large four legged creature flies off into the starry night sky. A long necked creature whose head emerges from a spot of tarnished copper looks up. The thick darkness swirls along the path of the flying creature.

Drawing of me, the maybe cute mycelium monster with a paw slightly raised and an unsure expression on their face. I say “cute? i dont know about that…”

I think it's supposed to work for steel and aluminium plates as well, but not for copper of course (sad).

My clumsy ass would not survive handling nitric acid, so I'm glad this method exists.

It's roughly 1 part copper sulfate, 1 part table salt, 10 parts water and then when it looks like it's stopped reacting you eyeball it and chuck like 5 more parts copper and uh oh, too much, it's melting, uh oh!

Thank you, it's a lot of fun to do!

It's really an old relief printing method, I just stop short of actually printing anything cus I think the plates are pretty enough as is.

I did a sketch page of design variations for Loxe the doggy. He gets new horns some time after the scene on the plate and so doesn't always look like this.

I made a clean design on paper then I cleaned it up on the computer and used carbon paper to put it barely visibly on the zinc plate. After that I paint on a sort of tacky black goo very carefully.

I bake the plate in the oven to cure the tacky black goop into a hard black shell.

the whole thing gets dipped in a concentrated copper sulfate solution which essentially sucks the zinc out of the surface of the plate and leaves elemental copper all over it. the back of the plate is also covered in goo. After a good soak and a rinse the black goo is polished off leaving the final image.

Here are some process pics!

Thank you!

Etched zinc relief showing a bird man being attacked in his bed by a giant worm which is itself being attacked by a doggish thing with horns. P.S. The raised surface of the scene looks blue because it is reflective, so you're looking at my ceiling.

The support site says they resolved their tech issue a few mins ago and now I don't have to do it again after all so that's good at least

Same thing happened with me and I checked their support forum (which you need to create a second account to use for some reason) and supposedly it's a mistake that they're looking into fixing.

They're gonna find it perfectly preserved in 10,000 years and peep your browsing history.
