Davidbarthold - Brooklyn Printmaker

Kaimei brush pen drawing of one of @thejpickens' white deer skull, collected by his dad in Alabama.

Nearing completion of the drawing I’ll use to produce a 35 ” x 55 ” engraving of Sababu, the black rhinoceros.

Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn.

Selbstbildnis als Totenkopf!

An etching of the Union Street Drawbridge, viewed past a cluster of sunflowers which grew there last year when I made this print.  The chimney of The Green Building is just visible by the left arm of the drop gate.  

I produced the acquatint effect by pressing sandpaper into the ground and stopping out areas I didn’t want bitten.

Fiddling about with some sumi brushes I just bought. #painting #drawing #sumi #faces #characters #gowanus
