While working on his epic suite “Bye and Bye” suite at Flatbed Press in 2003, Trenton Doyle Hancock created a self-portrait etching using one of the test plates for the spit-bite aquatint used in the suite. Hancock titled it Etchaedge. He captured the essence of the intense project of nine two-color etchings he had created in less than five days with his focused upper body drawing on one plate, while his feet are in cartoon running mode below, moving from plate to plate, from image to image. The background shows tests of different strengths of nitric spit-bite and their watery etch.
