Wasps

Reduction style relief print, on a tetrahedron kite, edition of 20. Made for the Kite show at Trunkspace, and the kite part is made out of old chopsticks.

Culpable

I've been working so hard! My arms are tattooed with ink splotches, and my fingers permanently look as though I've been gardening.

I'm terrified about my show in Los Angeles. I have no idea if anyone will like my work, especially since I don't make pretty ladies, and it seems that everyone else I'm showing with makes pretty lady art. There's no boobs in my work! No boobs! Even I'd prefer to look at boobs than at weird little ugly people. Maybe I should make some mammary prints just in case.

Postcard

Sent to Katherine:

Sent to Trent:

So, because of the workload a solo show and its imminent arrival dictates, I'm copping out and posting some of my many postcards instead of prints for the next couple of weeks.

By the way, if you want a postcard, then send me your address and maybe you'll get one. Maybe. If I like you.

Paper Wasp

This took forever.



And one on Art History notes:


The next few prints will be ones in preparation for my print show in March in Phoenix.

Baby Bird

I was thinking how the ground is littered with the corpses of babies birds every Spring. Maybe I'll draw some more of these guys then.

I printed on old homework and handouts from school. The intention is to wheatpaste these all over town. We'll see if I actually do it.

Orange Tree Leaves

I know, I know. I've been lax. But, I'm making up for it with a bajillion new awesome prints, all waiting to be photographed.

Orange Tree Leaves:




The only "true" trees that grow in Phoenix (palm trees are actually a type of grass) are orange trees, olive trees, and palo verde trees. The orange trees like the heat, but not the lack of water, and the tree in my frontyard I water once a week to keep it alive. Their leaves have a strange double lobed shape.

I just barely learned how to make these little lined pouches from a tutorial on Twelve22 (http://www.twelve22.org/2006/07/zipper_tutorial.html). I went a tad overboard on them.

Failure Potato

I used to make potato prints. They were fun and cute, mostly because they were made out of a potato. I've even sold a few of these prints, the reason for their purchase baffles me, but they were purchased nonetheless. My plan was for this previous week's print to be one of this variety. My attempts were utter failures. I made three, and each time I asked myself "Am I doing this because I want to or because I'm too lazy to do it right?" So, there will be two prints next week, and this week will be for thinking about doing stuff right or not at all.

I was planning on sending you all over to see the potato prints of Samuel Curtis/Cory McAbee of http://www.myspace.com/thebillynayershow, but the website is down so you won't be able to see it.

Haha! Number 3, and I'm still going strong!
