Here is a portrait of an old friend with a real look (it is guaranteed to look great at least once a year forever).
My original etchings from this Sofia plate are in a series of colored inks, but then came iPhoto – this image then is my manipulated photograph of one of those etchings. About the manipulating, I am experimenting with iPhoto and Seaside and using a Sony Alpha DSLR 100 as a capture device. – Copyright © by Edward Huse, 2008, all RR, www.edhuse.com
Some of these pulls, (the actual “real” prints including some hand-colored), are available for sale as well as the great reproductions made available through www.redbubble.com. They of course vary wildly as a result of the variables involved in pulling a print from a plate by hand, but that is one of the reasons that such a print is considered an actual independant and integral work of art in contrast to other prints that are essentially reproductions.
This image is also available through my similar account at www.zazzle as a US Postage Stamp, (When do we get www.redbubble.com Aussie Stamps?!)
[[Aqui una muestra de un grabado del artista, con cambios efectuados en ordenador, vemos a la amiga con su maquillaje impregnable de desde siempre, la bella Sofia. Se ve de inmediato que me fascinan los software de iPhoto i Seaside, la maquina fotografica es un Sony tal como arriba.]]
