At first glance it made me think of a printing plate, with the clean lines and smooth surface. In a way I am itching to see it patinated with some encrustation and some moss growth, but who would want to sully such a fine surface. I also like the mix of Norse Futhark text with an almost Pennsylvania Dutch hex symbol. It’s really quite inventive. <br /><br />I did some Googling around and found there are a good number of artists working in this medium these days.
