2018

H 30 cm x W 20 cm
Aquatinta, Strichätzung, Limitierte Auflage, von Hand gedruckt 

Das Werk „Cloud Buster“ ist ein schönes Beispiel für verschiedene Radiertechniken, einschließlich Aquatinta, Stufenätzung und Kaltnadel. Die schwarze Form, die von der unteren linken Ecke zur oberen rechten Ecke ansteigt, ist ein kleiner Eschenzweig einer Radierplatte, die zerschnitten wurde, um zufällige Details zu erzeugen. Der Zweig besteht aus Harzstaub, der eingebrannt und dann in Form des Zweigs geätzt wurde. In einem zweiten Durchgang wurde eine Abdecklack aufgetragen und die krakelartigen Linien wurden mit einer Stahlnadel in den Lack gezeichnet, während die Wolken am Atelier des Künstlers vorbeizogen. Wenn man genauer hinschaut, kann man die unterschiedlichen Linienstärken erkennen. Dies wurde durch das Ätzen in mehreren Schritten erreicht. Man zeichnet auf die Kupferplatte mit einer Stahlnadel, legt die Platte dann in die Säure und ätzt, nimmt sie wieder heraus, beobachtet die Wolken, zeichnet weiter, legt sie wieder in die Säure, nimmt sie heraus, zeichnet, legt sie zurück. Die Linien, die die meiste Zeit in der Säure verbracht haben, wurden tiefer geätzt und tragen somit mehr Farbe im Druckprozess und erscheinen dunkler im Druck. Der Künstler sagt: „Die Wolken des vergangenen Sommers haben mich sehr fasziniert. Sie kamen so pompös und kühn daher und verloren so schnell ihre Form und Kontur.“

 

Englisch Version

The work ‚Cloud Buster‘ is a nice example of various etching techniques including aquatint, stop out and drypoint. The black shape that rises from the lower left to the upper right corner is a little ash twig of an etching plate that was cut up to create accidental details. So the twig is made with a rosin dust that was burnt in and then etched in the shape of the twig.

In a second run, a hard ground was laid over the plate and the scribble-like lines were drawn, watching clouds pass by the artist’s studio. If you take a closer look you can tell the different thicknesses of lines. This was done by etching in several steps. You draw on the copperplate by using a steel needle, then place the plate in the acid and etch, then you take it out, watch the cloud, continue to draw, then place it back in the acid, take it out, draw, put it back.

So those lines that spent most time in the acid, where bitten deeper and thus carry more color in the printing process and appear darker in the print. The artist states, ‚The clouds of the past summer fascinated me a lot. They came along so pompous and bold and lost shape and contour so fast.‘

One of the best dog toys I’ve bought off Amazon in a long time
Color: Green
My dog Rosie is a heavy tower so it is difficult to find balls she doesn’t destroy quickly. I came across this item on Amazon and it is honestly one of the best pet toys I’ve ever bought on Amazon. After a long day of work sometimes I come home and Rosie has a lot of energy. I turn this ball on fast mode and she has so much fun. I do worry about how much shaking in her mouth. I don’t wanna give her a headache, lol but there’s also a slow mode that you can press for the ball to slowly move around, but it’s a really good toy and I’m happy. I purchased it if you have a heavy tower, I wouldn’t worry about them breaking it because we’ve had it for a couple weeks now and she’s doing great.

Not indestructible, but dogs love it
Color: Green
My dog LOVES this toy. Unfortunately, she loves it so much she destroys it. I have now purchased FOUR of these, but if left unattended for 5 minutes, my American terrier breaks this apart. She loves it so much though, I keep buying replacements. This is a wonderful enrichment toy, but you must keep an eye on your toothy friend.

Engaging and Fun, But Lacks Durability for Strong-Gripped Dogs
Color: Green
The internal mechanism of this toy works very well, and the ball’s movement immediately caught the attention of my Boxer pup. He was absolutely fascinated and spent hours each day playing with it. However, while the toy’s design is engaging, the durability of the exterior leaves much to be desired—especially for dogs who tend to pick things up with a firm grip. We didn’t know what to expect since our pup hadn’t previously played with an interactive ball, so we supervised playtime and made sure to store the ball in a safe spot when we couldn’t keep an eye on him. Despite this, the ball didn’t hold up. Our pup wasn’t intentionally chewing it. He simply carried the ball in his mouth when we moved downstairs or to another room, yet the grip while he carried the ball caused significant damage to the exterior. Within about a week of regular use (approximately 40 hours in total), the ball’s outer layer became deeply gouged by his teeth. To clarify, my pup wasn’t biting down hard or trying to destroy it, but his natural grip while carrying the ball left deep grooves in the surface. In just days, these gouges made the exterior sharp to the touch and compromised the structure. By the end of the week, we couldn’t screw the cover back together after removing it to recharge the ball, which made it unusable. And I was dismayed that there aren’t replacements readily available. Overall, my pup absolutely loved this toy — it was engaging and kept him entertained for hours. However, if your dog has a strong grip or frequently carries toys in their mouth, this may not hold up as well as expected. It’s a great concept but needs a more durable outer layer and replacement hard covers to make it a long-term investment.

My dog loves this ball
Color: Green
The battery on this lasts forever. The random on/off motion and when it gets touched inducing motion just keeps my dog guessing and occupied for a long time. My dog's tail is wagging the whole time.

Great ball
I have bought two of these in different colors. My Yorkie loves them. They’re very interactive even if you don’t put the cover on it they move and if he’s not playing with it, it tends to go into sleep mode.My Yorkie got the cover off the ball within the first two minutes. But he loves the ball. Now bought 2nd ball. The ones with covers don’t work he rips the covers off.
