AAD011 Place
Place To follow the theme of “place” I immediately thought upon Van Goths piece ‘cafe terrace at night.” This piece depicts a street in Paris from the view of a cafe, there may not be a lot of sentimental value behind the piece or where it’s based upon other than Van Goths liking towards the…Continue Reading AAD011 Place

Callograph Prints (AAD012)
Above are images of Callograph prints I made. I have to say I am happy with the outcome as this was the very first time I’d ever tried Callograph. I found it very tedious as the plate itself made from bits of cardboard and other bits and bobs, began falling apart as it wasn’t very…Continue Reading Callograph Prints (AAD012)
