Original Aluminum Etchings

24×36

Where imagination becomes metal

Hand-drawn designs in pencil and ink, transferred to aluminum. Each piece a singular frame from the mind's eye. Usually 5" by 7".

The Process

Imagination 01

Imagination

Every piece starts as a vision — a scene, a feeling, a composition that demands to exist. Ideas live in sketchbooks until they're ready.

Pencil and Ink 02

Pencil & Ink

The image is first drawn by hand — pencil builds the form, ink refines the detail. The drawing itself is a finished work before the metal begins.

Into Aluminum 03

Into Aluminum

The design is transferred and etched into aluminum, preserving every mark and line. Metal gives the work a permanence no paper can match.

About the Artist

A single frame,
perfectly exposed

The name 24×36 comes from the dimensions of a standard 35mm film frame — a perfect rectangle that holds one complete image. It's a reminder that a great work doesn't need scale. It needs intention.

Each piece begins as a hand-drawn original in pencil or ink, developed over time until the composition feels inevitable. Then it's etched into aluminum — a material that holds light differently than paper, that survives, that has weight.

Maximum size is 5×7 inches. Small enough to hold in your hands. Large enough to mean something.
