& quot; & quot; Come Fly With Me & quot; & quot; -Raven (crow, bird, Frank Sinatra)Series. Intaglio engraving 5 inch x 7 inch 2011

Raven’s smart habits is related to mating and reproduction. Immature birds start to court at a really early age, but might not bond for another 2-3 years (Like our adolescent dating). Mid-air spectacular display screens of balancings are suggested to reveal off the raven’s physical fitness, abilities, intelligence, and ability to supply food. A bonded pair will spend hours performing complex aerodynamic maneuvers. They test each others compatibility, strengths and weaknesses. (Dinner and dancing) Once mated, ravens will nest together for life. Truthfully I believe they are just having a good time.

“If you state the word, we will beat those birds
Back to Acapulco Bay
It is perfect for a flying honeymoon, they state
Come fly with me, let’s fly, let’s fly,
Pack up, let’s fly away “

Excerpt from Frank Sinatra’s” Come Fly away with Me “by songwriters: Sammy Cahn and Jimmy Van Heusen

HOW I DEVELOP MY PRINTS: I have had a lot of individuals ask & quot; & quot; What is a hand made print? & quot; & quot; I made this video of to show the printing process. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNdYxOSKt1Y&feature=youtu.be
I often find motivation from a conventional or historic account of the raven. Very first I pick my title. Having a title helps me with the image and state of mind of the piece. Humor is commonly crucial but I also pick titles that force the audience to find that more about the images.
Next I look through recommendations to discover the right pose or gesture for the raven or ravens. Then I invest hours doing initial sketches, followed by a series of illustrations making use of pencil, conventional gouache (opaque watercolor), ink and charcoal. My next step includes using digital innovation. I scan the illustrations and remodel them with Photoshop. This digital tool enables me to change the value of the drawing and I can even move and rearrange the image. I make use of filters if needed. Next I print the drawing from my computer system and continue to draw with the conventional tools. I repeat this process several times so the conventional and brand-new innovations combine flawlessly.
In 2009 I started dealing with photopolymer etching plates. In the past an etching included covering the plate with a petroleum bases sealer then emerging the plate into vat of acid, cleaning with solvents, recoating, and more acid baths. The procedure was exceptionally hazardous to the artist along with the environment. In 2009 I began dealing with recently improved and safe photopolymer etching plates. These are UV light delicate printing plates, which are exposed in sunlight and processed in tap water!! In the past I would has invested 20-40 hours developing the printing plate. Now I make use of that time to do my completed drawing. I use my computer and printer to move my drawing onto a transparent sheet of plastic. This works as my negative for the exposure to the sun! I utilize the photopolymer process to transfer the original drawing to a printing plate from which I can hand print an edition. Lastly, I compose a story. This usually takes me the most time of all!
