Copper Plate Etching

Finally created a second copper plate illustration ready for printing. The process is so much more involved than I thought it would be, lots of grinding, lots of polishing and lots of chemicals. Possibly at some point in the future I'll explain the exact process but for now I'm way to tired and have way too much other stuff to do. Anyways, for the time being please enjoy this last plate I've etched. The original image is a painting done by some impressionist artist I can't remember right now, I didn't trace the image and instead did a drawing of the painting and then did this etching from that drawing. Bleh, I can't formulate words very well right now. I've got a lot of shit on my mind, ohh boy.
