A lot of the simple graphic intensity does get lost as you add more layers, but there’s a richness to the color. I’ll probably do one more run-through, for straight black, which can sometimes add a lot of punch. Still no title, so I’m running out of time on that basic requirement. Obviously, there is…

I’m in the process of posting year-by-year summaries of my artwork to my Facebook Fan Page. The latest deals with my colored pencil/oil pastel neon cityscape phase of the 80’s. I had just moved to Denver. Tomorrow I will post the latest progressions in the still-untitled large monotype I’ve been tracking here. Have a look!…

I previously posted a couple of photos showing progress on a large print. Printmakers like to call multiple runs through the press “drops”. Here is an entry on the first drop (or stage). And here is one of the second. Shown above is the 5th state, where it sits now. Below, there is some intermediate…

If I should fall from grace with God, Where no Squishtoid can relieve me, If I’m buried ‘neath the sod, But the angels won’t receive me, Let me go boys let me go boys Let me go down in the mud where the rivers all run dry -The Pogues The Pogues were a definite part…

Whew! Yes, it was a frantic September; yes, procrastination tends to feed on itself, and yes, (oh-no!) the Days-Without-Job portion of the Squish-o-meter is ticking off its final days. What I like to refer to as Square State Tour ’09 did not provide a lot of cash. In retrospect not so surprising given the economy,…

As promised, stage 2 of the aforementioned, as-yet-untitled print I posted a few weeks ago. The blues and tans give it a bit fuller, more painterly feel, but of course, there is a little bit busier, patchier look now. Planning an image is a bit tougher when you start from the black and brown ghost…

I did say I would post this image, from the plate in “Prelude to a Squish”. I don’t have a title yet, not unusual for this stage in the proceedings. It’s 42×30″, and contrary to the original post, I don’t think it’s “finished” yet. This sort of indecision is also not unusual. I like to…

But you never see the liesyou believe -Elvis Costello, New Lace Sleeves Health care reform, without a “re-forming” of the corporate-dominated and profit-motivated system we have now, is not reform at all. It awards maximum profit for minimal efficiency. Americans largely took that fact into account when they sent a Democrat to the White House…

Back to the press to work on some larger workSee the finished work here in a few days. See other finished work here. Find out about my upcoming workshop here.
