Wonderful. Such a simple, graphic form; lovely artifacts. Why the paintbrush?

Oh yeah...very cool!

efo...as to "why the paintbrush", I would hazard a guess that it is for the glorious uneveness of the developer application, which adds to the texture and random imperfections in the image.

Efo: Yep the paintbrush application leads to uneven development, which seems to work well with simple, cleaner images. There's more fun for me to have with this technique, I'm sure...

Wow. That's the most creative application of HC-110 I've ever seen. There's something very organic and hand-crafted about this. Would you mind adding it to the HC-110 group?

I guess the paper was stood upright with the pinhole in the side ?
