My fifth tintype, Crowned Diprosopus in Ascension, was started in 2022 and finished this year as the illustration and branding for the 2025 Dark Days Bright Nights music festival in Richmond, VA.
The sculpture presented me with several technique challenges, as I had to learn silicone sculpture, adding eyes into the silicone, painting silicone, and punching hair. Please see my studio blog post for the making of this sculpture.
Most of the sculpture was built along one plane, leaving the face out of focus when photographed with my Dallmeyer 3A lens. No photo editing was used to make the image. At 8x10”, this is the largest plate that I have accomplished.
In the future there will be a small tintype edition produced of this image. Please contact me if you are interested in purchasing one.
Thank you to Ron Lutz II for photographing my tintype.
