Printmaking produces images with visual qualities that are very different from those obtained through drawing or painting directly, and each technique adds its own peculiarities to the way each piece is conceived. However, with its odd and alchemical combinations of unusual materials, specific tools and enormous machines, Printmaking is often a strange and foreign territory even for artists accustomed to studio work on other disciplines.
A collection of traditional portraits from the DA! Traditional artists here have so much scope, talent and new insightful, inspirational work. Here are the ones I have come across, if anyone else has any suggestions feel free to comment or send me a note enjoy!
Watercolor art can be hard to find on DA, since the medium lacks its own designated section. Heres a sampling of some of the best watercolors Ive found on this site.
I took a small break last week due to Halloween, but the news is back.
This week's critter was suggested by . Thanks!
The Jackalope would be considered a 'new' myth by most standards, not having grown up from the ancient cultures like many others featured here. While European mythos contains other variations on horned hares, the American introduction of the Jackalope can be attributed to a certain Douglas Herrick. After a hunting trip, he pieced together a taxidermy jackrabbit with spare deer horns, creating the familiar critter we know today.
In the American Midwest maybe humorous tales abound about this rarely seen creature, ranging from it's breeding habits of only mating during thunder storms. To it's ability to mimic human voices, mostly to confuse it's would be hunters.
So let's give this horned hare some art.
Please take a moment to let the artists featured know you enjoyed their works. A little comment goes a long way.

First I ever heard of a jackalope was in an animated short that came along with the Monsters, Inc. dvd (if I remember correctly). It was portrayed as funny, cute and wise.
Don't know if you've ever heard of this, but there's actually some sort of disease which causes rabbits to grow horn like things of some sort on their heads.

Perhaps Mr. Herrick got his inspiration from seeing something similar?
