I have a NEW website

With more recent work, press, etc. I'm going miss the beautifully designed site that the ever talented Francesca did for me but now I'll be able to update more regularly as I make new work or have news to share. You can see it here.

Progression

An image of the final piece professionally shot. I have to admit, I like the graphite on black paper pieces much more in person. When they are photographed, they don't show the "life" and sparkle of the graphite as much. The knots are an illustrated step by step process of making a Butterfly Knot.

Slow moving.....

This is a work in progress that I've been working on and off for the past month or so. I'm determined to try to finish this week because I want to include it in an application for a residency that I need to send out by Fri. It's 19"x25" graphite on black paper. The paper doesn't photograph well with this camera, it' a true black and the graphite looks silver, almost like a silverpoint photograph. It's time consuming because I'm constantly changing between different graphite hardnesses. I think it will be worth it though, I'm pretty happy with how it is turning out so far.

New Gocco prints!!!

I've made a new Gocco print design today and have printed it on both Black and Grey paper in white inks. The ink on the black paper reads more grey and the white on grey is very subtle and ethereal. They can be purchased in my Etsy shop here.

Design Milk

The very busy Erin of Design Milk, Design for Mankind and Design for Mankind Magazine was kind enough to post my work on Design Milk. Thanks Erin!

The Beholder

My work is now available at The Beholder.

Hackberry & Knot Gocco print

New Gocco print! This is based off a previous gouache & graphite drawing I had done. The print was done with a Japanese Gocco Screenprinting machine using 2 screens. The colors are blue and brown ink on BFK grey paper. This is a limited edition of only 66 and I will be selling them in my Etsy shop.
