Zero Sum #14

Well, I guessed wrong in the last post - here's Zero Sum #14, and it's not an image with a toy astronaut and glass deer eyes. It's ZSAP's first editioned original etching. Sometimes you just don't know what's going to come together first.

So we have the interesting new situation of an editioned print. To simplify things a bit, the edition size is only 2. One will be sold now (visit the auction to bid if you'd like to own it) and one will be sold during an exhibition of the Zero Sum Art Project to be held here in Pittsburgh in November. That show will follow all of the ZSAP rules, including the sale of the work on eBay - I'm working with a very brave gallerist! It should raise all kinds of interesting complications.

Zero Sum #14(?) in progress

Here's the first hints of what might be Zero Sum #14, depending on what happens in what order in my studio. Stay tuned!

An etching in the works.

Well, here's the current state of the etching plate that provided most of the raw material for Zero Sum #13. This etching will be ready to stand on its own one of these days - getting close, anyway.

Zero Sum #13

Here's Zero Sum #13! With #13 I have introduced intaglio into the works - the proceeds from #12 paid for access to a local printshop. Acid, ink, tarlatans, and various nasty solvents all for one low low price! So, soon we're going to have to sort out how editions are going to work in the Zero Sum Art Project. It should be interesting. The first etching will be somewhat similar to the image above, as it is a collage of proofs from an ongoing plate.

You want it for your own? Just visit the ZSAP eBay auction and get bidding. The opening bid is $7.55. Visit the auction and find out why.
