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…

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…

Team of Rivals
I’m posting this pic of a collaboration I did with ceramic artist Donna Schnitzer for a show at Republic Plaza called Interplay. It was designed to hightlight the professional artist/ mentor-to- student relationships the Art Students League of Denver wants to encourage. In this case, Donna is a long time, very experienced professional ceramic artist herself…

Waiting For the Sun
We haven’t had a winter like this in quite a while. It’s postponed a lot of printing days, though some have fallen victim to the Month of Printmaking event I’m working on, too. Our guide for that just went to press. I’m going to put up a downloads section on this site and put a…

Living Large
Large work has been a priority for me last Fall, and didn’t happen quite as much as I’d like, so I extended “printing season” into December. I went down to Open Press ( a somewhat legendary print studio in Denver ) and started on 2 30×42” monotypes, one of which was completed, and will…

Zip Do Done
Some shots of my Zip 37 show with fellow Monotype artist Randy Hughes. It was a fun opening with quite a few visitors since then. I’ve been writing a post about color, as it has seemed to pop up in my work lately, but as always, it has bogged down a bit it the first…

Judgement Day
I was recently asked to jury a show at Core New Art Space, a co-op gallery I used to be a member of in the 80’s. The show’s theme was “Horizontal Line”. Here are some thoughts from a Juror’s Statement I wrote for the entrants and show-goers. Jurying a show (my first time solo) is…

Street Wise
I talked last time about organizational things that make the Art Students League Summer Art Market a favorite show of mine. Details like this make a show meaningful and worthwhile for both artist and public. But what makes it personal and fun- people. The SAM has retained, throughout its growth, the feel of a neighborhood block…

Street People
Art shows of the street fair variety have become popular.They come in a wide range of styles and sizes, but what makes for a good one? Many new show are popping up along with the many that already have long histories. Organizers of art festivals typically charge $4-500 for a booth spot for the opportunity…

House Keeper
I hope to write a proper post soon, as it’s been a while. I’ve been pretty busy, ironic since there’s actually plenty to talk about. But to keep things fresh, here’s a link to what I’ve been working on in the studio. I like the house images, but obviously did not want get away from…
