Intaglio suicide

For my last Intaglio assignment, I thought it'd be a great idea to do a giant 12x18 copper plate. Bad idea. The plate took me 15 hours, printing took me 7 hours. It didn't come out the way I wanted it too, but I was running out of time so I settled. I might go back into it over the summer, I'm not sure yet. Rudolf seemed to like it when I was printing and taught me a neat little trick to getting fingerprints off :)
