- They get to play with acid
- As a result they have an emergency shower on hand in their studio - who doesn't want that?
- Etchings always look great. They have that spotty acid-eaten texture that other artists have to work so hard to achieve. And it's pretty obvious that the etchists know it. How often have you seen a great looking etching that has four intentional loopy lines and just a whole lot of terrific-looking mess? Heaps, that's how often.
"Landscape with goose (1973)
Drypoint, roulette, electric hand engraving tool and burnisher, printed in black ink on Lavis Montgolfier St Marcel Les Annonay paper, edition 2/20"
Oh come on. The paper cannot really be called that. Really? REALLY?

Just to be precise here Chris-Man. If it's a drypoint etching, there hasn't been any acid involved.
Except for the guy that named that paper!
I think he named the paper after a pedigree bulldog.
Thanks for calling me out publicly as a printmaking bluffer! Next you'll be revealing I actually know nothing about netball.
More importantly, I can't see the goose. Suggest etching be renamed 'Landscape With Goose (Which Is Hiding Right Now)'
My mistake, the actual title is Landscape Without Goose #377.
My first thought was that it was called "Landscape with Tsunami-inducing Faultline". I think it's very sinister. (Then again, my family are still suffering from a little bit of post-tornado stress disorder from the last weather disaster we had, so maybe I'm projecting.)
