Early printmaking experiments

In other sections of this website there are many images of prints that I have made, but if I were to show you only those prints, it would be 'cheating' a bit, I think. The prints on those other pages were all made by the 'professional' printmaker David - in other words, made since I started offering my work to collectors. But how did this guy arrive at that stage? Did it take a year, or a decade? What about the 'beginner' David?

This section attempts to show something of that journey, right from the rudimentary first attempts. If it's polished work you want to see, then turn back now, but if you're curious about the history behind the prints I am making, and just how long it took ... this is the place.
