this is the way...

I finished my new poster for my upcoming show at the Owl House on July 9 from 6-9pm!!!! YAY!!!

And... my first new painting for the space! I have to fill the upstairs and downstairs! Eek!

Waltzing Matilda

This was really nice, I had a lovely exchange with a client who sent me a picture of my painting in her new fancy schmancy loft apartment!! I love the brick wall, of course :)

I had an art opening last Friday! The show is still up at Orange Glory Cafe and will be for quite awhile. After that, I have a July show booked at The Owl House and a show in September at Roc Brewing Company!!! As if I wasn't busy enough. Below, shots of the Glory show.

Oh hey, it's spring. Here's a beautiful shot of the zen center in Batavia, NY.

And here's a shot of my noble steed. We've been out on a lot of adventures so far!

Biscuits and gravy!?

Some new paintings for my upcoming show on May 11! The subjects come straight from the posters, which will also be for sale! For example, painting:

My third pig painting that I've sold, based on the one across the bar at Lento!

Yesterday my friend Tony showed me around the AWESOME letterpress shop that he works out of, Dock 2 Letterpress! It was such an awesome place, and it was really great to chat with someone who prints as a full time job. I had a BALL! I can't wait to do some work there!

I heard a crow caw

Things I've been up to lately: Very cool project for Adrian DiMatteo's senior recital/branding! Also, a very tight deadline, instead of my usual week turnaround, this project was done in FOUR DAYS! I'm patting myself on the back. Below, without type:

This one has the information for his senior recital!

Hey, I have a Seersucker Social ride coming up, and of course, I'm being obnoxious and making the posters for it! Check it out!

In the works: branding for the band Take Berlin. Loving this one.

Nomad in progress

take the dark out of the nighttime, and paint the daytime black.

I've had some adventures in printmaking recently. For the first time, during my last letterpress class, I took my carved linoleum to the presses. This was my first time printing with oil based ink as well. Before:

After: what great ink coverage! It just shines!

NOT PRINTED ON A PRESS, here's my ongoing project for Nomad Yoga. The blue was my first time using water-soluble oil ink, after my conversion from the above printing.

After: the print on the right is in the old cheap speedball acrylic ink, the print on the left is the new ink! The blue has some beautiful variation in tone.

I also printed another old poster on the press! I have a few weeks hiatus between classes to catch up on carving lino, thank god. Many, many projects in the works!

Macho macho

Finished kittehpants poster! Available at the Cat Show, Hungerford building room 364, Friday April 6 from 7pm-9pm (I think). Come get one of your own!
