Ink and Air

This is a series of drawings I did some years ago but have never shown either in person or on the internet.

I was experimenting with ink and a heavy-duty air compressor, and found that I could make incredibly fine lines with a measure of control. Now, the technique seems to result in things that look like plants, World War One trench lines, or square vaginas, but I like the results enough that I have to get back to making these.
