An oldie one from the time I was the printmaking freak. Wish I had energy to keep doing it... But it's okay. #printmaking #demon #commsopen #demon #horror #ocultism

This is a calcography print titled "Thaumiel," depicting a violent encounter between two demonic figures. The artwork is characterized by its intricate lines and textured appearance, typical of the calcography technique.
The scene portrays a struggle between two humanoid figures with demonic features. On the right, a figure with horns is shown thrusting a lance or spear into the chest of the figure on the left. The figure on the left, also horned, is simultaneously stabbing the neck of the first figure with a knife.
Both figures are rendered with a distinctive striped pattern across their bodies, created by closely spaced, curved lines. This pattern adds a sense of texture and depth to their forms, making them appear almost three-dimensional. The figures are positioned within a dense network of fine, intersecting lines, creating a chaotic and dynamic background that suggests a struggle or a turbulent environment.
The overall composition is dramatic and intense, capturing a moment of brutal conflict. The use of fine lines and intricate details is characteristic of calcography, a printmaking technique that involves etching or engraving lines into a metal plate.
The print is presented on a white background, with a slight shadow visible around the edges of the printed area, suggesting that it is a physical print on paper. At the bottom of the image, the title "Thaumiel" is faintly visible. There is also a faint signature in the bottom right corner, partially obscured.

"The three damned mice" It's a old piece I did in calcography for art school! I still like it even if my art style is still evolving and looking different from time to time!
It's a reimagined version of the three wise mokeys! I hope you all like It.
