Awwww, did you make that all by yourself? Haha, fuck your teacher that's awesome.

What an interesting story...

I think...

Bitchin'.

So that's what lithography is... What a laborious way to make a picture. Like someone's going to have all this shit in their house. I like the Lincoln one though.

That must be a pain in the ass to make. Pretty though.

That IS interesting! A good way to make pictures, and I bet you'd feel great after so much hard work and it comes out AWESOME.

Wow thats great. I've done printing before but nothing that good.

Maybe pretty hard to make but I really can't say there's any error on those pics. Awesome ink style.

Artsy! Yet still too painstaking for my Tastes!

That looks fucking sick.

BOOM, HEADSHOT!

awesome

you r teh best artist in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GRAH!

Well at least that's semi-interesting... I have to draw still life for three hours every day.

Ironically I wrote a paper on printing today and was going to do a peice on lithography but couldn't be shitted

I just drew angry faic in art,never anything else

Sounds like etching. I've done it before, I'm suprised so many people do it, it seems like such a niche way of producing art. You can work incredibly small details into your prints though.

Cool picture anyway, looks better than anything I ever saw the Print tutors create.

have you ever worked in lino? its pretty similar, you cut into a sheet of lino, which is essentially a soft floor tile material. You have to cut a negative image, then cover it in ink, print it, cut away a bit more, cover it in a different colour ink and print over the top or the original print, creating a... two colour image!
I'm glad I learnt how to do it, but of all the things to be taught at art college it seems like a low priority.

Don't worry Johnny, you'll think of something interesting someday.

How many exact o knife blades did you ruin to make this?

nice. it seems as if you are quite artistic. plz post more art.

those are awesome

its probably not the best idea to say that and forget the acid part o.O i mean guessing some people will do that...

Poor Abe...

Blows my fucking mind.

Have you thought about making the Abraham Lincoln one into a Newgrounds shirt? I'd buy it

kewl

make one of tom ;)

We did the same thing in this art class at my school. Exepct it was with a rubber block instead of metal plates.

for some reason mine didn't come out as good as yours did o_O

I have done the same with wood, well i guess its a bit easier to use metal, although I never heard of using aluminium plates for this but copper plates.
Is aluminium "soft" enough to do the scratches without waking up with muscle ache in your hand on the next day?

we did that in art class sophomore year of high school. it was easier though. we used linoleum things to make the design on. mine was of a zombie biting a woman on the neck. i still have the linoleum thing.

I had to burn an image into a hunk of leather once.

fuck those look awesome.

You were born to draw. <3

Ya, in our college, Illustration students have to take so many fine arts classes. One teacher decided she wanted to teach Print making, which means, I had to do this for a second time. I'll never understand why any teacher knowing she is teaching a bunch of illustration kids print making is a good idea considering they deal with mass reproduction, and can easily and more efficiently turn to digital art with endless printing at hand, AND make a fucking image exactly how they want, rather than whatever a copper plate will let them do.
God fucking DAMNIT, I hate print making.

poor abe

lolk

How come nobody in your class didn't suggest to use computers.
Plus, I don't get why you are doing this, your vector art is so amazing and so are your oil paintings.

Very nice m8 and damn you AND ur tankmen I have to watch it atleast twice a day

i think i did that once in school as an assignment... pain in the ass

I can hardly understand that. It must mean it's true.

Yous crazay Jeff!
C-r-a-z-a-y! :P

Hello!
You rule in everything!
You can make, draw all you want and it will turn out PERFECT all the time!
Lithography is fun, and those pics ruled up in this town!
GO MAKE MORE!

Maybe you could do a tankmen?

Oh Johnny.

Make love to me.

:)

I did that once, only I did it with rocks or something. I can't really remember.

Wasn't nearly as good as yours though.

you do realize that lincon wasshot from behined right?

Tried doing that in art once, too me ages to finish and get the fine details right.
It was all good, then the last layer my teacher suggested we put some crap on for tonal variation. Totally fucked up my linear work!

Well knowing the process, my god you have soo much patience. Cross hatching in the Frankinstein would've drawn me to an inch of sanity. Ahh wells that's the price to pay for fine art.

-OVER AND OUT

That's the most fucking retarded shit I ever heard, Jeff.

*kills you*

I can safely say that's the most controversial piece of art I've ever seen! Pretty good, though.

Cool picture but I dont understand a thing your talking about

That's some weak blood there bro. Lincoln himself is incredible though.

If you squint, it kinda' looks like he has a deteriorating antler coming out of his head.

so jeff when you updatin the akuma blog?????????????????????????????????
???????????????????????

ok..... you totally lost me on the acid thing (you mean bye take lsd???)if so tell meh where to get sum!!!

THIS IS HISTORICALLY INACCURATE EVERYONE KNOWS HE WAS SHOT IN COLOR FOR THIS YOU WILL DIE FDHSFGHQHJKS

so you really made it all by yourself or did someone help you with the painting?

nice drawin jeff

haha dude ur awesome and heck im a motherfucking 11 year old!

Wasn't Abe shot in the back of the head?

pretty damn good, it does have a nice effect to it, I've done similar works with leaves believe it or not. Oh well that looks like it can be in an Muesam or something. You should try doing this with a tankman picture, the scetchy look would look well with it.

I see a flaw. What the hell happened to Abe's ear? O.o

That is an awesome end result, not to mention if you want to hand out several different copies, none of them have to be completely alike, and you don't have to use a scanner that might skew/disintegrate the end result.

Woo old posts that you may not read anymore!! Anyways I also make litographs, only difference is I use fucking zinc plates, I hate those things, and the fumes from the acid bath must be killing me very slowly but heck it's fun!! (except the part where you cut yourself with the raw borders of the plate OR the blades) anyways, as usual fuck your midas's touch man great work!
