The second piece Three Sisters is part of a series of etchings I completed involving Greek mythology and modern day circus sideshows. This piece was also accepted into the 2010 New York Society of Etchers annual at the National Arts Club.

Mezzotint and Etching
The first of these pieces is a mezzotint I worked on this past winter. A mezzotint is a n intaglio process in which a copper plate is worn down to a black tone, using a tool called a rocker. The highlights of the image are then burnished out of this black tone. It takes a number of hours to accomplish, but I would say it is worth the wait.
