Just a Printer's Devil

Here are some recent pieces that I've been working on. (The lighting may look a little funky, and I apologize for that, most of these were taken when the pieces were being exhibited). So here goes nothing:

My first reductive woodblock print, using my favorite technique: the split fountain a.k.a., the rainbow roll.

Here is my most recent lino block print. It's 8 x 10, employing both reductive and multi-block plates.

Believe it or not, this baby is only 2 x 2 inches. It was made for and exhibited in a print show that featured only 2x2 or smaller prints.


To change things up a bit, here is a scratchboard piece I just exhibited. And you thought I was just a printmaker!

The half dome print. It's a multi block print, about 4 x 4 inches big. I'm not quite happy with it yet though.


And that's what I've been up to. What about you?

If you're willing and able, you might want to try that ascent of El Cap' you've been dreaming about. Why? Because according to Geologist Henry Kaiser  "We are on a collision course to a world without rocks."
"Think about it," Kaiser told the Onion Newspaper, "When was the last time you even saw a boulder?" If you'd like to contemplate whether or not you should head on out to Joshua Tree this weekend, or how skipping rocks with your Pa at the lake may have negatively impacted Earth, you can read the rest of the article here.
