They're prints I made from the plates I actually etched in.
The GS is a line etching entirely by hand. 15x20" paper

This ferrari wheel is a line etch done by dipping in acid five times for 5 minutes each, total of 25-30 minutes to put in acid only. The rest took like 1 week, including staying and sleeping in the room. :ugh3:

This is the same one, but done with a process called, "Slow Acid" it's called "aqua tinting" which only seeps into the plate slower to get the dark affects and values you see here. This took about 1 week as well, but fairly faster.

Well what do you guys think? I have about 6 proofs for each one of them.
I also have two more to do and they'll be in color and those will be a bitch to do.
I'll post them here as well when I'm done in like three weeks or so. :lol:
Here's a couple of tools I mainly use. Etching pen, scraper, and burnisher, of course some steel wool and sandpaper and brushes.
These were taken with my cell so sorry for bad quality pix.
