Heyyy I'm slow. C:

It's been fun. I mean after the super huge plates and all, working on small etchings again is a big relief. [The second one is old.]

The Pink reduction print shows the two sides of life as seen from a childs perspective. Also showing how i miss my childhood and the freedom i had. The second print is a dry point etching about my brain showing what happens when i go at an assignment without any preconceived notions or ideas as to what i am doing. automatic drawing

miranda davolt-martyr

Okay, so this is my print of me as a martyr. It's a pretty heavy, wierd subject that I didn't understand and still don't, really. It pretty much just gave me an excuse to watch Joan of Arc movies. The one from the 20s is REALLY upsetting. Yuck. Anyway, she and thousands/ millions/however many martyrs died for god, were loyal people of god and had to suffer. How does that make sense? If you look at it from a modern stance, the martyr is like a victim of a mob hit or any homocide or fatal violence.
~I am emotionally/mentally stable, by the way! I am not usually into such heavy things or into things that freak me out. The fact that the oil ink looks kind of like blood is really creepy.
