The summer has been a cool one with breezes or showers at night for comfortable sleeping. With the Summer Art Market show over and the workshops begun, I’m catching up on postponed tasks, such as paying off credit cards. I’m working a temp job in a bookstore for that, and it makes it hard to…

Summer’s Here; Time is Right for Printmaking
I’m spending most of my time working on my Summer Art Market show with monotype artist Taiko Chandler. We’re in Booth 99. Looks like the weather’s finally clearing up; I’ve made quite a bit of new work and Taiko will bring a whole different look with her abstract, very organic work. And filling only half a booth…

Drawing a Crowd
Unlike past shows, I’m sharing a booth at the #SummerArtMarket2015 with another monotype artist, Taiko Chandler. I’ll post some of her work soon. It has allowed me to dial back the preparation of the small-to-medium-sized prints that usually sell there in favor of some larger work, which I will still need more of to crack…

Guilty Treasures
A slow starting day with gathering clouds- perfect! I did finish up some MoPrint biz earlier this week, and went to studio twice, but I didn’t produce a lot of finished work, mostly thinking and prepping for a final push at the SAM. Here’s another weekend book post: Next to the bed, I have an…

Tales of Futures Past
From February’s snow days to nights in March spent on the couch after working my temporary job, I’ve had a bit of reading time. As I’ve mentioned, I read a lot of different stuff, but lately, my obsession has been comics. Not only for escapist reasons. There is a lot that’s interesting about comics right…

Everything’s a Work in Progress
What I have worked on this winter is a small series of work intended to develop organically from sketchbook ideas on up through experiments in different sized paper and eventually to a large, significant, and fully realized work. Especially as I transition to new methods of working such as stencilling, etc, I’ve tended to have…

Let’s Talk Monotypes
I do have two longer posts in the works. One is a photo album and discussion of a progression of monotypes I’ve been working on, the other is book and media related. I’ll edit them, add photos and catch up with the back log soon. In the meanwhile here is an interview I did with…

Lipstick Librarians on Top, Down There at the Bottom
I’m busy tying up loose ends as I return to a normal routine. So this post is a grab bag of abstract musings from both my winter couch diversions, and my spring projects. I am on the committee for MoPrint 2016, a city-wide printmaking festival which is entering its second scheduled biennial and had its first meeting…

“Well I hope you’ll come and see me in the movies Then I’ll know that you can plainly see The biggest fool that ever hit the bigtime And all I gotta do is- act naturally I auditioned for a spot on community television as host of a proposed show on the Denver art scene. I…
