New Work!
Mixed Media on Mylar, 2011.

Old Sketch Post for Carissa.

Carissa sketch, pre-thesis, 2009.

Graphite on Mylar.

Off to the side is a thistle sketch in graphite and acrylic.

Carissa asked for a digital picture of this sketch, so I thought I would share it with the world! Sorry it is late, Carissa!

More work coming soon!

I have been busy prepping courses for the Fall semester in my first full-time teaching role, so uploading anything has been difficult. Let's face the facts--my track record for posting has been anything but 'regular.' Nonetheless, I am excited about the possibilities and opportunities coming up in the near future. As soon as I begin concluding new work, I will post it here.

Frogman's In-class Activity

Feast your eyes upon one instance of the laid-back-and-groovy daily workings of the Fick/Huck atmosphere.

Frogman's 2011: The Proof Wall

This is late, please excuse.

Frogman's Print & Paper Workshop 2011, Relief Shootout with Fick & Huck.

The Proof Wall is where we all hung and shared proofs of what we were working on during the week.

Locomotive II: Bumblebee Variant

I had a great time at the 30th Anniversary of the Frogman's Print and Paper Workshop last week. The class I enrolled in was taught by Bill Fick and Tom Huck, two of the baddest printers and coolest dudes I have met so far. Google them.

I will post more pictures from the actual workshop over the next week, but here is a picture of my parents' foyer doubling as a drying rack for an edition of 15 prints I took with me to trade.

Rattle Can and Serigraph on Paper, 2011.

Locomotive III: version 2.0 Serigraph Image

Digital from Photographed Drawing, 2011.

I will again be traveling to the local screen-printing house to ask them about transferring my image to a screen (obviously) with their exposure unit.

And again, I will run 15-20 prints in black-and-white.

More info on prints and AP's for sale/trade and any planned variations coming when I post the information from the last screenprint, which I should do soon (if you have read anything on this blog, you will notice that 'soon' is a relative measure of time).

And I still owe you some Locomotive II woodcut images...

Locomotive III: Sempiternity, Impetus, Acculturation

Graphite on Mylar, 2011.

Creative Commons Licensing and Attribution/Citation information coming soon.

My intent is to undertake the development of this and other drawings-on-mylar with additional media.
