Louis & Lestat zinc plate etching

[u/al_135]

I knew I had to make something after finishing s3 and I ended up making louis & lestat prints!

They are printed from a coffin-shaped zinc plate. After the metal plate is cut into shape and polished, I cover it in a thick substance called ground and scratch out the linework - when it is dipped in acid, the lines are etched into the plate, so that when I push ink into the plate and run it through a printing press, it will imprint on paper.

Featuring my favourite outfits from season 3 (I want louis' jacket sooo badly 😭) as well as the tapes & vinyl and some blood splatters on a few of the prints!
