Art is the only way to run away without leaving home.
[Twyla Tharp]

To render this little chap in scratch board technique, I painted areas of white clay-coated paper with India ink. Then I used a hat pin to scratch away the ink where I wanted detail.

Wood is a living thing.
You may not have to rest when you are carving, but it needs to.
[Goingback Chiltoski — Cherokee Woodcarver]

Here’s an illustration I did that looks like pen and ink but was produced in a darkroom. Talk about old technology. I scratched this image with a hat pin into the emulsion of a piece of 4 x 5 sheet film then made contact prints.
