Our Little Monkey — Jenny Mason-Gunning (not for sale)

Our Little Monkey — Jenny Mason-Gunning (not for sale)This small steel photo-etched plate was made as a personal piece — not for sale, but for us.Created using a wide bitmap and Ironbridge photo-etch emulsion, the print captures Oscar, our little monkey, in a way that feels both delicate and completely true to him. The bitmap breaks the image into soft, shifting marks, allowing the portrait to emerge through tone rather than line — full of atmosphere, tenderness, and presence.Oscar is wild and wonderful in real life. He is emotional, intense, funny, and endlessly curious. More than anything, he wants to print — to be in the studio, to make, to watch the press turn and see an image appear. That joy is extraordinary.This etched steel plate feels like a fitting representation of him: strong, sensitive, and full of character. The surface holds his expression beautifully, a quiet record of someone so full of life.A private print, made with love — and a reminder of why these processes matter: they allow us to hold onto something human, fleeting, and deeply personal.
