Proof of King Kong Engraving


Loosely related to Illustration Friday's Jungle theme, this is a proof of an engraving I've been working on based on Peter Jackson's version of 'King Kong.' The engraving was done on a 6x8 Resingrave block. I apologize for the shoddy printing; I don't have direct access to a press, so I'm pulling prints by hand using two different types of barens.

It's very compelling...I love the closeup of Kong's face, especially with the whites of his eyes aglow.
