ARTIST PRINTMAKER 4
Hello!
My name is Dionne Marshall
Thanks for stopping by! I am an artist printmaker creating under the studio name 'Punctured Artefact' or sometimes, even my my own name! I work across multiple disciplines (Print making, Tattoo art & textiles, Digital art) The Online Store includes Prints, Etchings, Tattooed Leather Art & Original Drawing.
Original Prints
All my pieces are created by hand. From the digital art through to creating a copper etching plate to pulling a unique print. Each print takes a long time to create and goes through many different processes. I print in small editions keeping the work precious and limited.

The etchings features a winter hellebore in our signature drawing style. Hellebores have a long history of cultivation, dating back centuries. They are often associated with folklore and symbolism, with meanings ranging from protection and warding off evil to rebirth and new beginnings.

On The Press
Pre Order
We have lots of print ready to drop during 2025! 2 of which are below. Both are inspired by the cicada. The 'Flower Cicada' is a mini print. The art is 10 x 5.5cm. It features a cicada with a flower of life pattern (Sacred geometry) The 'Elliptical Cicada' is a little larger. It also has a small embossed P.A symbol under the main copper plate. Both pieces are created with fine lines & dot-work. The plate has undergone multiple etches to produce varying line weights & tone. Join the waitlist to find out when these prints drop!
Copper plates
I love to use copper in my etchings. I love the feel and colour of copper. It is also great with 'non toxic' safer etching methods. I use traditional etching needles & a micro needle for very small lines. Tones are created with silk or spray aquatint. Patterns are created with watercolour spit-bite & resist etching techniques Textures are created with a roulette, drypoint & abrasive tools. I currently enjoy the challenge of working on small & mini plates. Some as small as 2cm! Many of the plates are hand-cut using a jewellers saw.

The Alchemy
Etching is a printmaking technique that uses chemical action to produce incised lines in a copper printing plate , which then hold the applied ink and form the image. Lines are drawn through the ground, exposing the metal. The plate is then immersed in acid and the exposed metal is ‘bitten’, producing incised lines. Ink is applied to the sunken lines, but wiped from the surface. The plate is then passed through a printing press with great pressure to transfer the ink from the recessed lines.

It's all in the detail
I enjoy the technical challenge of creating precise & intricate lines, alongside dot work. My focus is about creating detail and often work using a magnifier. I use traditional etching needles & a micro needle for very small lines.

Flash Art & Custom Art
I have created a collection of original drawings for use as tattoo flash. Individual pieces can be collected & combined into your own unique tattoo. The designs are available as an instant download. I also take on a few commissions a year, for custom designs. Please contact me with a few details, such as; brief, size, position, symbolic meaning & placement on the body. There is also the option to customise a tattoo flash.
