This is the acetate sheet I made for an intaglio from my own design but in the style of Gippi.
This is a photo showing me working on my acetate, here it has been completely inked up and is ready to print with.
This is the first print I did from my design. It includes mainly black and white tones so I'm treating it as a kind of trail piece.
This is what I got when I added some mid-tones to my acetate. I am really happy with the result, I think it's striking and follows a very similar style to Gipi. I was very much inspired by Gipi to produce this piece. His influence in my work shows through the messy, scratchy style of line which was achieved using the intaglio process. Overall I think looking at Gipi's work helped me to produce a piece that has many aspects of his work without looking like an exact copy because of careful research into how he produced his work which enabled me to work in his style but completely use my own ideas.
