Prints using the blood of his portrait subjects.

Moderator's addition:
From the linked site:

"The Blood Portrait project is from my ongoing work exploring ‘derivatives’ or ‘derivative printmaking’. The blood portraits explore the use of constitutes parts of blood, primarily hemaglobin, iron and copper salts, and natural pigments, as a medium for printed portraiture. It represents a Postdigital approach to printmaking that examines the interplay between analog, mechanical, and digital image making and the biological form as both subject and medium.

Quite interesting. The moderator's addition is there to encourage people to actually look at the link before reacting to the jtk's post about it.

Francesco is a brilliant photographer. This series, though, is quite droll and uninspiring… even with the rather unique vampiric aspect.

Where I work if there is blood involved one needs like a nuclear waste suit to clean it up.
