Nah. Etching is the same today as it was then -- just chip away anything that doesn't look like a horse, you got it. Limestone was soft compared to my flint axe.
The drawings were easy -- just grabbe a half-burned stick out of the fire and used the charred end.
Paintings were a little harder, but I mostly just used pollen and berries and like that.
Yeah, I got your brick-breaking right here, Kid.
ReplyDeleteHaven't you figured out by now that it's not a good idea to argue with the guy who buys his ink by the barrel?
I haven't even warmed up yet.
Hell, how many guys even remember when ink came in bottles?
ReplyDeleteInk, that's, like, liquid toner, right?
ReplyDelete(I actually learned to use a fountain pen in high school. What a pain.)
Better than stone chisels and tablets. Those were a real pain.
ReplyDeleteThe cave etchings must have been difficult...

We had to use fountain pens in high school, too. They said it would help our penmanship. Hah.
