Great idea for the "spring" theme. I'm diggin' the added shadows. Cool cartoon, my friend! By the way, this is how "intaglio" works. I cover a flat metal plate with a tar-like substance (it's been a while so I forgot what it was called), then after it dries, I scratch off the design I want, to reveal the metal's surface. I then place the plate in a pool of acid (called an "acid bath"). The acid will eat away at the metal, while the part still covered with "tar" is protected. After a certain amount of time (depending on how dark you want the ink to print), the plate is removed, the tar cleaned off, then the plate is ready for printing. Ink is rolled onto the plate, then wiped off. The ink will stay in the acid eaten areas of the plate. The plate is then placed on top of the print paper, and pressed to transfer the image. I had to do several different passes in the acid bath for that particular print, to get the desired effect, and colors. Whew! Hope that answers your question. Yo, RobotJam, hella like it.

I like his grin and the building behind him- he's definitely on his way home from work. No one should complain about it not being "Spring" enough- that look on his face shouts out spring to me. Fun stuff. Thanks for the peek. Yah, this is great. I like his grin and the building behind him- he’s definitely on his way home from work.
