Project KillerFlower Zinc Plate

Project Kiler Flower Zinc Plate


When ever I look at this photo I envision little tentacles coming out to eat small animals. I always imagine different forms of a flower monster. Tentacles, the whole flower turning into a mouth, little mouth (like in aliens) coming out.
I took this picture near my house with the intention of documenting the plant and finding what species it is. It is a Foxglove flower.




















This is the concept sketch for the plate. I feel that something is missing. Maybe I need to put more flowers. I didn't draw every flower in the picture. I was trying to keep in simple.



















This time I am trying to use a bigger plate than I have used before. I plan on doing an aquatint on it. First I need to give it the salt baths, then I will do a proof.
