Oh yeah i'm pretty good at art (big suprise!)
so hey kids, you want to know a totally idiotic and difficult way to make FINE ART?
If you can get your hands on some thick aluminum metal plates you're half way there. THEN all you gotta go is painstakingly SCRATCH a negative image into the metal - like a caveman making an image on a cave wall or something.
There's also some part about soaking it in acid, but god dammit i can't remember much about that step but but was a huge pain in the ass.
Then wipe it down with ink, wipe the excess off with acetone and the scratched in grooves will hold the rest.
THEN run it through a press. You can only get a few prints out of each run and then you gotta re-ink it.
You do get a unique look to it and every printing run comes out differently because you cant totally control the ink.

Yeah I know Lincoln got shot in the back of the head but I just did that so you could see it...

the end
