I took a plane there to feel what she felt.

Lyrics always make interesting topic titles. "The Knife", if you were interested. Well, it's been a while, but, lets not dilly dally, let's post some art.

My most recent favorite is the one of the girl with the black hand pushing her. This ranges from this summer to now, but most of it was produced in the last month or two.

Timo, all this work is gorgeous. Your style has developed so much. I just have one thing to say: I heard that Skeleton pees with his pants pulled all the way down.

I'm digging all of this! I'm a huge fan of all the halftones!

Lets see more like that second to the last image, while you have a great hold on color I think that second to the last image really stands out.

it's not an etching is it? A lot of those shades look a little aquatinty.

That is an etchline aquatint! I forgot to mention it. Yeah, I like that one too, but that shit is a fucking bitch from hell. I have spent probably 40-50 hours at least on that thing, fuck. I etched it, aquatinted it, burnished, aquatinted, burnished, and then I think I aquatinted one more time, and added in a few drypoint lines (did not like that process at all). The first proof I pulled off of it was smut black, my 10 second etch was at 50% gray, hah. I am going to do another one though, so, we'll see how it goes (well, I dunno if it will be as tonal as that one!).

But thanks guys, I appreciate all the comments.

And Hiemie, he sure does, hah. I heard that saying on a forum before I found out it was a 4chan meme, so, I don't feel responsible, haha. I wanted to draw a picture of a skull, and then I saw that phrase, and then I imagined my skull saying that, and it all went crazy from there, hah.

No problem, that's understandable haha I took some printmaking classes and remember etching all too well.

Hah, well sense we got some printmaking people here:

These are both etchlines, though, the bottom one is twice the size of the top one in real life. I need to scan a edition of the bottom one (it's Nosferatu based, but I am trying to think of a better name), because I put in a few more lines and also that was printed on shit paper. I like a bit of the printmaking, it's just a long laborious process.
