Cat rescued from abrasive abyss. 🐱

I’m not a good scraper/burnisher, but a problematic demo left me with a scuffed plate and an urgent need to get better - fast - for fear of students hating the etching process. 🙂

Finished my contribution to the “Printilla” po

Finished my contribution to the “Printilla” portfolio for SGCI - a print that considered the Puerto Rican port town of Yabucoa. This was a fun mental stretch, as the image had to be created knowing that the print would be cut and assembled into a boat according to a chosen template (printed on back). I tested it out on a proof. While the large gaps between floorboards and walls probably wouldn’t let this thing set sail for very long, I think it’s👌okay.

More progress on the transparencies...
I am trying to exert self-control and limit the layers on this one. 🙂

Finally working on my contribution to a portfolio for SGCI...hoping this will take shape as an image and, when cut and assembled according to a template on the backside, a paper boat. 🤞

I’ve been typing a little more than drawing late

I’ve been typing a little more than drawing lately, and am excited to have an essay included in @driftlessmagazine’s newly released issue 12. I wrote about the subtle beauty of Iowa’s Loess Hills, and how seeing them always reminds me of a plaster carving project from a 3D design class in college...because everything ultimately connects with art. 🙂

It’s been several years since I’ve had something framed because I’ve been mounting most prints on wood lately... It was a nice change of pace to have our local framer extraordinaire go to work on this one.

Another one just about finished in my Great Reveal

Another one just about finished in my Great Reveal series, which consists of book-like boxes that contain foldout works on paper. I enjoy tinkering with wood to create something more sculptural, but also look forward to seeing how this print looks all framed up... 🌽

It’s hard to fit a skinny print into Instagram’s template, so here it is, chopped up as logically as possible. I credit a childhood filled with too many Unsolved Mysteries episodes and an adulthood spent living in stark landscapes for the image’s tone...
