Most of the prints I've made

here we go, start to present

"Desert Scene" - Intaglio - 6x9" Oct 07
First shot at anything printmaking

"This man is going to the Drugstore" - Bitmap image with screen

Nov 07

Didn't like the teacher who wanted us to use a lot of screen, instead of just one color. I gave her the old DuChamp explanation. Failed that class. I forgot all about this old one though.

"This is a chair" - Woodcut - April 08

First shot at a woodcut - 10 minutes in, knew it was better than anything around. I love to carve.

"Lincoln" - Linocut, 9x12" May 08

He was a real good dude, considering his circumstances.

"Nighttime" - Color Wood cut - 4x9" Oct 08

Unhappy Results.

"Winter Scene" - Color Woodcut - 15x19" - Dec 08

First color woodcut I was happy with. Such a good feeling when the paper came off that key block.

"Behind Hiawatha" - Linocut - Oct 2009

Linolium! I like lots of lines, especially when the lines curve. Those are about the best kind. Linoum is good for this because it doesn't chip.

"Bracket Park - Dawn" Color Woodcut, 5x9" Nov 09

Park 3 blocks from my house. Grew up with it. Had some fun with this one

"Bracket Park - Nighttime"

Same key block used, Color done reductively

Same print, experimenting with colors, this one has a hand painted moon

"94 and Riverside", relief print on Masonite, 2x4' Dec 09

I drive this street to and from school a lot. You can't see it in the picture but the viewpoint is from the end of a bridge over a highway and just to the right is an exit, I saw this man a lot there last fall. Everything about him is from memory, the rest from standing and sketching. I haven't seen him there in a while though. One lesson learned though - 5$ sheet of 2x4' masonite is a good deal but not if you want to make a print with it. Tears like cardboard. It might have just been my tools though.

Here's a couple more views

The taco Bell on my block that Ive mostly grown up on closed down this fall. It made me sad.

"Taco Bell" Linolium key block, one color-reductive block, 8x12", Dec 09

"Orangey found the Catnip Again", Reduction woodcut, 8x12" Feb 10

 

Detail

 

He is pissed off already because 1) the material that makes his face up isn't dry and he doesn't like being wet and 2)that you would even think about looking at his catnip.

Thats about it since I started. I have one or two more I'll dig up, and if I use this blog as a way to show completed works, maybe I'll put up a few 2d non print related things. I just want to see my SA print I'm working on on this blog as soon as humanly possible. So I'm leaving for another all nighter at the studio now.
