thanks ! my initial inspiration comes mainly from the pioneer’s plates and the golden record of voyager but there is a bit of arecibo inside indeed :)

here: https://juliencatanese.bigcartel.com i just have one print left of this one available but i wait paper for new repress soon. (Dm for reservation if it’s already sold out)
hahaha, thanks mate ! :D
I really like this! The colors of the ink, paper, frame, and even the wall look great together!
thank a lot :) the frame and the wall come from a mock up I haven’t actually framed it yet :)
haha, meditative is the term yes, it’s very long, more than thirty hours of engraving :) thank you! all my prints are printed by hand. using a sterile sterile and a tablespoon :)
it is a mixture of abstract elements with occult/sci-fi connotations and scientific diagrams or more figurative or symbolic elements. there are elements relating to cosmology, astronomy, topography/geology. the element carbon, its simplified atomic model. a molecule of “chnops” the building blocks of life, a representation of bacterial life and various abstract elements. everything arranged in such a way as to have a homogeneous and graphically coherent egnimatic whole.
thanks ! I do the research using drawings in a notebook, but they are more sketches of elements, of symbols. I create the composition in vector on Adobe Illustrator then using a transfert medium from liquitex , I transfer my printed composition onto my linoleum plate. I then engrave my plate manually. approximately 90 percent of the plaque is hollowed out.
thank you ! yep, these are the metallic inks from canfield color. they are beautiful ! :)
thanks :)
thanks a lot :)
I buy my frames from “castorama” I think they must be located in Belgium. They have a range of glass frames and aluminum borders (black, aluminum or light wood color) that are quite sober with good value for money. It’s not very high-end but for 45 euros the glass frame is quite suitable. I can’t stand plexi frames and I can’t afford to spend hundreds of dollars on a frame either. personally they suit me well. It’s up to you to get an idea in a store if you find one.
Sounds like you’re a perfectionist. I like it.
thanks mate !
here’s what I see when I’m on my profile but I think you’re not the only one who doesn’t see the links appear
here it is just in case : Website
Gorgeous! That was an immediate buy. Any tips on where to get a nice frame?
thank you very much ! :) personally I use glass frames with a thin border (no more than 1 cm) black or gold. A varnished wood that tends towards gold as in the photo could also be very suitable…being in France, I leave it to someone else to worry about where to find it :)
Yep, my website link is on my profile
Thanks a lot ! I love the control flow graph.
Your rectangular pieces would work really well as deskmats
indeed, it could. I have already seen an artist with a fairly similar style who had cast his plaque in epoxy resin to make a desk
That is really impressive and a lot more hours than I’d thought
thank you, I work slowly and I like my plates to be impeccable. which adds a certain number of hours not necessarily necessary to the final result. but for me it is important.
thank you very much !
