21. Squid (and stuff with Paul Elder). Ink and scratchboard etching. More
One evening Paul was demonstrating how to use this Ampersand claybord and marked up an area with a black sharpie, then used some etching instruments to start a tornado. “Try it” he wrote, and handed me the tool. “Ok” I wrote. Paul gave the tornado a face, then I thought it needed to be sucking up structures and creatures, then he drew flying people out of a trailer park… I bought some new boards to take fishing but brought that one too, thinking I’d use it for practice since there was still blank space. I ended up etching a squid I liked on the “practice” surface.
