I like to experiment with different drawing media to try and achieve a particular look or feel. Recently I have introduced more background textures to help compliment some of the strong graphic lines. Other images work equally as well with just a few simple lines, less is more.
Each print is individually hand made by myself, works are presented against dark backgrounds to show deckle edge of the papers.
Picture details are included below each image.

Sketched directly onto a copper plate with a bamboo pen and sugar-lift solution, then acid etched using traditional intaglio techniques.
Inspired by my active imagination, flowing lines and bold shapes contrast well against the paler tones.
