Very nice work! I have wanted to try the acetone transfer (ever since Nick Bantock's book came out), I even bought the acetone years ago and haven't opened it. You've inspired me. Thanks. :)

Definitely try it. Each type of image transfer has its own place and time--although I seem to be having trouble doing transfers with the dishwasher rinse aid stuff! Glad to shine a little inspiration your way. Thanks for letting me know!

Many times I am moved to see the world from the man's point of view. Nobody has it easy these days. Glad you enjoyed.

!!! Do the eggs refer to that ad...it's a financial ad for some sort of investment or insurance or something. They all have giant eggs. That is what this "Man of the House" makes me think of. Visually, the piece feels very strong because of all of the black lines scrambling and leading every which way. This is a good one. :)

Thanks, Albs. Sorry to be so belated; been travelling. This piece is crazy subtle in person. No advertisement refs here, just feelings about fatherhood.

No, it is good that you are traveling again. :) No postcard today! But they said they'd let me know when it came in. And yes, some things are hard to translate into the internet realm.
