    This is cool, how does it work?

    @charliedontsurf Basically, I transfer the image to a steel plate using an inked negative photocopy of the image, then etch the plate. The ink acts as a resist to the acid so the plate then becomes a negative and then clean the plate, leaving the etched image. I ink the plate and print it on a press. Each one of these takes about 4 hours to produce. This particular method doesn't render various tones of grey, so you get quite graphic images.
