Hi Erik
I will post more - I am working with a friend who sourced out each photographer and we are able to produce this one off show , in total there are 48 different images
and in November we are auctioning off one of each images. Total 16 different photographers some with multiple images in the show.
I made the negatives from their supplied film, these particular set of images are made with my Lambda silver negatives and duotone gum bicromate.
I am getting very good response to this work and it encourages me in my own work, as the more I make for others the more $$ I have to make my own work. I have a two person
show coming up in September at Propeller Gallery here in Toronto.. It will be the first time I show a series of gum prints (dresses) . I will post them as well , I am actually pretty
proud of them as they meet my approval after 8 years of testing to get to this point.

I agree, I really like the look of your current printing Bob. It is very distinctive, quite unique I think. What sizes are the dresses printed at?

Lately Erik I have been absorbed with Gum Only and I am not using Palladium, the Celeberty Images are mostly Gum.
I love the ability of coating two layers and revealing the bottom layer with the longer soak and a bit of brush and water work.. The Hannamuhle Paper is really well suited for Gum
as well with a good soaking prior to printing the shrinkage allows good registration with two coats at the size I am working on , but when I go three layers I am getting a slight mis registration
so I will be using metal for tri colour , I found a much more aggressive mounting solution (I hope) which will allow me much flexibility. But pre shrink I feel is mandatory and really shaking the shit out of the pigments , gum , dichromate is also giving me a very fast workflow, I can coat 16 sheets and print them in one day and then next day do the second coat. Allows me to work through a lot of negatives and the physical volume of exposures and washouts is actually making me much more aware of this wonderful process.

Re: Alt-Process Prints from Digital Negatives or Positives
can't wait if that happens please let me know !
Re: Alt-Process Prints from Digital Negatives or Positives
I'm impressed with the detail you are getting with no pd layer and only 2 coatings for a full scale print, a real time saver! You've really got it mastered

First ok gumoil. The original is not so grainy. Maybe is the scanning process...
I had already rendered it in cyanotype and carbon but that's my fav.
Loving the process :)
