New experimental monoprint series I’m calling the “Sunshine.” What this involves is a lot of blocks all at the same height but some have been carved, some are just flat and I’m letting the wood grain show through. More to come…
Over christmas i got a great little cart to hold/roll the press around on. It also has a great little shelf below where i can store supplies and scrap paper. A much needed addition to the workshop!
Starting to experiment with some monotypes inspired by Richard Diebenkorn’s Ocean Park series. I have a drawing that i put under the plexiglass, then I apply ink to the plexiglass sticking to my drawing as best as I can, then running the plate through the press. The fun of a monotype is its the best of both worlds; printmaking and painting. It’s a really fun way to experiment with mark making and get interesting and unexpected results. I’m looking forward to working on lots more of these.
The Magnolia print is complete. Two color edition of 50 on Katakana paper.
I had the amazing opportunity to create a print commemorating the wedding of great friends Tyler & Elsa, also known as Always With Honor. I’m very proud to have contributed to this great event.
The print is of a Coastal Redwood pine cones and branch. Inspired by the Northwest. The two colors used are a cool green and a deep brown.
For the paper I used Rives BFK and water based inks.
