Leather-Etched Art

Mark Evans Etchings are Meticulous and Amazing Work

— December 31, 2009 — Art & Design
Mark Evans etchings are stunning. Using only his artistic skill and a knife (or two) Evans produces large scale works and reproductions in leather. The tonal pieces are incredible for their craftsmanship and the sheer effort and time it must take to produce one.

Realistic portraits of the Notorious B.I.G., Jesus, Muhammad Ali, Bob Marley and Winston Churchill are among a few of Mark Evans etchings.
