This is my final print for my relief class. Its a 9 by 12 woodcut on shino plywood, only the second cut on wood i've ever done. Again, if you want to guess the riddle please do so discreetly. The final prompt was "Echo." I'm planning on doing some red watercolor hand coloring on these too, more on that later.

I'm super excited about this print. Once again, this is just the block (8 by 10 lino) hence the red color. This will be printed on tee shirts so i'll have more pictures later. This is my band shirt design. I dont have a band, but if i did this would be my design, lol. Yaaaaaaaah 350 PSI!! Hundred points to anyone who gets the joke.

This is another photograph print that i did, this was an 18 by 24 inch linoleum cut print. I was really happy with the way it came out, but i had a holy hell of a time getting it to come out right.

Here's a final print image of my train wheel print, i think it came out pretty well. I was surprised at the relatively small amount of detail that i lost.

Here's the Final image of my mirror painting. I think of it as a self portrait of everyone and the ghosts of possibility.

This is a small woodcut I did this last weekend as a test. I've never actually done a relief cut in wood before, at least not in the style I'm starting to get into. I usually work in linoleum, so this was a test to see how i liked it. I traced the photograph and used it to make the image using tracing paper, and the cut was done on a 4x6 inch piece of shino plywood.

This guy does some really amazing stuff, not just prints but some pretty bizzare other things too. Very cool.

So, this is an "in process" shot of my Day of the Dead Steamroller block. Taking forever, but its coming in.

Ten prints drying on the rack.

This is the finished key block print. it reads:

I am a window, I am a lamp
I am clouded, I am shining, and
I am colored.
Set in white, i fill with water and
overflow. I say much, but I
Have no words.

No public guessing, send me a message if you think you know.

First and second runs of key block.

Final block in key block.

Second run of my key block print.

This the first run on my key block print. There are five colors on three blocks.

In progress shot of my latest painting. Hope to have a finished shot by next week sometime.

Wow, getting really ahead in my printmaking assignments. Amazing what i can get done at home with a couple of movies. Got two runs done on my key block assignment, and i've started on the Day of the Dead block, but i'm not too far on it just yet. Tomorrow i'm going to try to finish my key block prints, so i should have some photo updates on that soon. I'll also try to remember to get a pic of my DOD block in progress too.

My other art. I made the mask, designed the sword, and helped sew the coat. I teach period Renaissance swordplay, btw, if anyone's interested.

My latest self portrait. Also, my first painting of the semester.

Yaaaaayy!! My first print of the semester in response to the headline "Wolves no longer need protection of the endangered species act."
