Tarlatan draws a night of dancing aurora for the snow house. Yesterday I spent about seven hours in the Gowanus Studio Space, in the print shop. 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
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)
A sneak peek at some new silverplate pendants: the caravel from my litho print (a bit of lizzie faux scrimshaw), classic Amsterdam buildings (for key chains to sell at Rolling Orange), and a close-to image of a jade plant. The resin for these has yet to be poured– these are in progress. They will begin… Continue reading time for new jewelry!
That is, the North Fork (of Long Island). Miscellaneous sketches from a weekend away, locally. Ben; the posse at delicious dinner table (it was a weekend of good foodie chefs in the house); and finally a random sketch began on Saturday evening, but finally finished this evening (at TWB in Exile's first meeting). None of… Continue reading a weekend on the upper tine

This time we came at it with drawings more suited to the medium– fewer tonal areas to get blocked up by ink. I'd read that thinning this type of ink is generally necessary to… Continue reading Polyester plate litho, round two
stills from my very short video Over the weekend Ben and I went upstate to visit his family. While we were there, the DIGIT expo was going on at the Arts Alliance gallery in Narrowsburg, including the "Quick & Gritty Video Slam"– a project whose requirements involved shooting footage in the town between Friday and… Continue reading DVAA Digital Media Expo
Tiny prints of a Viking Funeral; image area 1.75" square; embossed, bordered area about 2.125" square Thursday was day one of testing out printmaking without a press, and without toxic chemicals (the latter a bonus for the artist and the environment). The last few supplies arrived Wednesday afternoon, so Kim and I embarked on some… Continue reading Polyester Plate lithography
Two talents: a musician and a visualist– embark on a collaboration that is both timely and topical, the fusion of whose efforts proves a perfect melange, exporting products (for lack of a better word) that feel tailor-made for the times. I've been on board since the first record (having already been a fan of both… Continue reading The genius of Gorillaz
I picked up my sketchbook from Mailboxes on Fifth today- for this. Beginning to think about what I'll do with it.
