Recently in my Printmaking class, we tackled out first Aquatint assignment. Mine did not turn out as planned, and I will be working more on it to make it the way that I wanted, but I've started liking the way that the first version looks, in its own way. It has a weird look like some messed up old photograph.

You can expect to see it again once it's done, though.

I will forever be surprised by the strength of wood glue (and wood glue is all that this is bound with) as I continue to throw, kick, and generally manhandle this sculpture, with few ill effects.
