Catching Up
The sun has gotten gold-tinged, the temps have plunged into the 80’s. I had a week recently to try and collect my thoughts after a long brutally hot summer, and I’m thinking life is good. Last year at this time, things didn’t seem quite so sanguine. I’d had an unprecedented run of shows with no…

Rain, Rain, Raiiin; I Don’t Mind
I haven’t posted for a while, mostly due to preparations for the Art Students League Summer Art Market in Central Denver. As you can see, weather was less than art show-like. We had a total of 20 minutes of sun all weekend, with serial downpours, and temps so low you could see your breath. I’m…

Millions of Monkeys are banging away in the back room on surplus Remington Selectrics, hard at work on the long-awaited Squishtoid Manifesto…well, wait. It appears they’re actually working on the long promised World Cup brackets, actually. Anyway, it appears the monkeys and I have gotten a bit behind. I’ve been getting ready for the Art…

Folk and Jazz
Can’t believe how quickly the Monotype Workshop I’m teaching at the Art Students League of Denver is winding down! I also can’t believe the diversity of prints we continue to see there. Tuesday I did a quick demo on Chine Colle, a sort of collage technique where colored paper is glued onto the main (…

May already! This is a very busy time of year for me even without a day job, have no idea how I managed it with one. This post will be a hodge podge just to let you know I’m still breathing- I’ll shoot for a longer post later this week. First, thank you to Conor…

First Day of School
The Grant Street School ( above, now the Art Students League) is a Richardsonian Romanesque building not far from the Mayan Theatre. It may have been designed by Edbrooke, I will have to check on that. When I arrived in Denver in the 80’s, it had already been decommissioned by DPS and was being rented…

I Like Having You Guys Stop By
My new browser actually allows me to comment in the comments section. My class at the Art Students League has met the minimum enrollment for it to be scheduled. Life is good, people! To celebrate, it’s Easter Egg time. The next 10 people who click “follow” are in a drawing for a print (those who…

Strange Daisies, Indeed
“Strange Garden”, 1/1, 30×42″ Laura from the Art Students League very nicely e-mailed last week that she would like to use an older image of mine that she spied on the Open Press web site for a post card she was putting together. I definitely said yes, the more you get your stuff out there……

2006
I posted a few images from 2006 on my fan page on Facebook. There’s also 2004, from a previous post, and as I slowly organize my digital files ( and scan in the old slides), I’ll try to catch up on all the other years as well. Also, as the class didn’t fill, the deadline…

Tornado Discount? Hell, yeah!
I wish all Art Fairs were like the Art Students League of Denver Summer Art Market The crowds are always there, and they are rarely there for the hot dogs. They are there for art. It’s a great little fair. I’m never bored there, partly because of the strong crowds, partly because it’s such a…
