Paint_Print

Finally took a pass at printing on top of one of the large paintings. Some of the panel seams and random paint drips resulted in sporadic patches where the ink did not transfer. Overall the result was appealing enough to keep experimenting with it. Printing on the painting got me thinking about mixing and moving paint around . . . it's been almost a year since I picked up a brush!

Family Dinner Pano Print

The complexity of this one might have proven to be too much. While certain aspects of the composition and rendering work, other areas are far too ambiguous to read well. Maybe that's okay. The sketchbook crops are interesting to me, I'd like the entire print to be as well. Might go back in and carve more on this one.

Carvin'/Printin'

A 3'x1' block depicting a family dinner. Getting close to completing the block.

Took a quick look at printing some of the smaller blocks on one of the panel paintings. Interestingly enough burnishing trough the back of the block seems to provide enough pressure to transfer the ink. Next up will be an attempt at printing the large block of Jacob and Caleb on another painting.

Sketchbook

This spread is the result of a seventy-five minute conversation with my advanced graphic studio (seniors) class. The content of the drawing has nothing to do with our conversation on 'graphic designer as author' . . . The coolest part of that discussion was that my studio mentor from grad school was quoted in the reading.

Video installation installed

Installation set up and running, just had the chords to arrange after this photo. I will try to get back to get more images, the proportions of the video turned out slightly different than I had expected, but I think the effect is similar to my vision.
