    Here is a new etching i did tonight, to try something different. For this, I sprayed the plexi with some black paint I had laying around, and then etched the paint off. I really like the look this gives.

    Eclecticos, I find things to etch just by looking around on the web. Google and deviant art are good places to start. All these etchings were meant to be tattoos. I find the tattoo designs are easy to etch and produce good looking results.

    I'll post up more etchings when I do them. thanks for your support!

    My dad has that same etcher!

    I remember screwing around with it a bit when I was a kid, didn't know what it was used for at the time.
