October Rust

Here's a sweet new litho print that I will post at higher res on my *temporary* main site later. Pretty fall colors, not-so-pretty fall subject matter. Clue: think folk song "Hollis Brown."

It was a three color deal, and it's my first print multiple color lithograph. It was printed using pronto plates of an ink drawing with 2 layers of digitally drawn tones. Lotsa headaches, but lotsa fun for sure! I'm moving on to stone litho next week. Legit!

A pause for Metal.

Arik Roper caught my eye again. Love the lettering.

Blog? What blog?!

I am back to posting and hopefully I can keep it up this time 'round! Sorry, folks. Well I should have some neat stuff to share since a lot has happened since my last post. Mainly, I am out of my foundation art courses and on my way as a print-maker :) There are some sweet updates to older posts and a whole grip of new, exciting influences I've seen this summer. And I promise to show my work from now on. Here's a quick one I'm doing for lithography, and I'll be back with more soon!!

I know it's a little old and you may have already seen it... but damn this gives me the best goosebumps ever.

I'm trying a new format for the blog: I'm gonna show images of things that have affected me over the past week so that you folks can get a better idea of the "negative space" that informs and inspires me. It's a little more conducive to my mode of thinking and hopefully will inspire you, me, and help generally organize my thoughts and communicate to whoever may be tuning in. 'nuff sed.

Fit to melt faces !,,!

Arik Roper just melted mine! I really dig Fillmore posters from the sixties, and Arik just takes them and gives it a mean Frazetta punch with a hint of Alan Lee fantasy colors. Amazing typography mixes with rad stoner rock imagery to make a pretty effective brew. Definitely something to enjoy!

Soon!

...

Swear to god, there'll be some new stuff soon! ...Really!

Finger salute.
