Tumblr users collectively bought 1 million real crabs from the Tumblr website and as congratulations staff sent out an E-mail saying that a horse plinko T-shirt will be sent to anyone who bought one for an additional small fee of 25 US dollars or 25 Yen.

I lied it's not actually new art. Is it new art if it's old art in a new medium? idk but let's do some science to our art, welcome to
ACID TIME
Here's a horseshoe crab I drew in ballpoint pen a while back. I took a short etching class and wanted to use this as my image—I've done a little etching before but not this much detail, so it was a bit of an experiment.
Quick etching explanation: You first cover a flat metal plate in a waxy substance called "ground", then use a sharp tool to carve through the ground to reveal your plate. You then dunk that into an acid bath for like 30 seconds to an hour, depending on how deep/bold you want the line to be. The ground protects most of the plate, but the acid will eat away at anything you exposed. When you put ink on your plate to print it, the ink will sit in those grooves and then transfer to the paper, producing a print!
(If you're interested in the specific chemistry: We used copper plates and a ferric chloride solution (aka iron (III) chloride, or FeCl3). Ferric chloride is an acid with a pH around 2 (strong!) and it reacts with the copper to produce copper chloride. Copper (II) chloride is soluble, so as the copper gets eaten away from the plate, the copper chloride floats away in the solution.)
You can also do multiple passes in the acid to get different line strengths. The next photos are some WIPs of the different rounds of scratching and/or etching I went through. The dark stuff is the ground, and the bright lines are the copper plate I've exposed—in the first photo you can also see where I've transferred lines from my original drawing to the ground that I haven't scratched yet.
(Printmaking reverses the image, so I had to flip the image while I was working so that it would print normally at the end—that's why it's backwards here.)
I ultimately did 4 rounds in the acid—I exposed the darkest lines first and put it in for 40 minutes, then scratched the medium-dark lines and bathed it for 15 minutes, then two rounds of light lines at 5 minutes. However, it's cumulative because the prior lines stay exposed (unless you specifically cover them with new ground) so the darkest lines actually received just over an hour of etch time.
And then here's what the plate looks like once the ground is removed! This is ready to be inked and printed.
Typically you have to re-ink between each print. This involves smearing the ink on, then using a cloth to buff it off of the surface of the plate while it sits in the etched grooves. Takes a few minutes and you can also control how clean or inky your plate is. I personally prefer more ink for a more shadowy print area and darker darks—left-hand is one where I polished it more, right-hand is one where I left more ink.
And there's the print!

Me and my dog ran an underground crab school, and my dog had the voice of John Cena. We got busted by the FBI and Billy Ray Cyrus.
