Friday night. After midnight. Increasingly aware (on account of my poor typing these past few days- I miss the proper keys!) that my fingernails seem to grow like weeds again. Like it's summer again. Been stretched a bit thin lately, again– working on a number of projects for clients (four web sites, the museum, a… Continue reading a creative dilemma

portrait on wood panel
Graphite, ink, solvent-based marker, watercolor and gouache on 5" x 7" wood panel (salvaged from a broken dresser drawer). Drawing on wood has some wonderful advantages; not the least which is the ability to remove everything- or almost everything; to scale it back with sandpaper and begin afresh, with just the ghost of the initial… Continue reading portrait on wood panel
a dearth of dreams
It's come to me attention recently that it's been ages since I've written so much as a sentence about a dream I've recalled on waking. I have, in the past week or two, actually had some wisps of imagery on a few mornings, but it seems that my recollection skills have waned in direct proportion… Continue reading a dearth of dreams

Just some things I'd like to keep in mind for… Continue reading notes to self

It was the first time I've had the pleasure of working there, and my day was focused on pulling prints from two drypoint engravings on the etching press. Following… Continue reading Dry point printing
sneaky peeks (drypoint in progress)
A sneak peek at the plexiglas plate. The black paper underneath makes the etches more visible. Sneak peek at a section of my digital 'proof'– wherein I scanned the plate and inversed black and white to get an idea of the density when inked. I see that I have more work to do in the… Continue reading sneaky peeks (drypoint in progress)

some watercolor sketches
Here are some sketchbook drawings from August I'd forgotten about. Sort of in thinking about the card deck, but obviously went off on some tangents here. Click to see the larger images. I cannot believe it's October already. Cold today. In other news: I will be selling jewelry and art at Brooklyn Craft Central’s 3rd… Continue reading some watercolor sketches
