I need some sleep. My 3rd grade son really enjoys looking through my drawing books. He has his favorites and likes to tell me about them. He told me that his absolute favorite was the drawing above, My Drawing Books Preserve Me because, well, I guess he found the title funny.…

I am a beautiful print and a delicious dish! I have continued with my gyotaku experiments. This tilapia is probably my most successful attempt at making one of these prints to date. It’s pretty big at about 14 or 15 inches and the scales are really prominent. That has been…

It’s been two weeks since I showed you my Big Linocut as I have it drawn on the block, so I thought I would give an update as to its progress so far. I made a couple of stop motion videos of my cutting process. It’s a slow and tedious…

I started work on a new linocut. It’s another chicken and this time it’s a cream legbar hen. They’re funny looking birds with bouffant hairdos. At 12″ square this will be my largest linocut to date*. Day 1: At this point I have about an hour and a half in…
