I’ve gone and done it. For a long time I resisted making a print of a largemouth bass. Not because I don’t like the fish; I like it just fine. It’s just that I have a contrarian streak in me about 10 miles wide. If everyone loves bass fishing, then…

I’ve been working hard, very hard, on a new triptych. It’s made of three linocuts (of course) and it is about the Psalms. There are a lot of Psalms, so I decided the wisest way of going about choosing which ones to do was to ask my wife what she…

It’s no secret that I like to draw bugs. Nor is it a secret that I’m a huge fan of bugs in general. In fact, I have a ton of students who are more than willing to catch a cockroach, put it in a jar, and leave it on my…

That seems like a pretty stupid question, I know. Everyone knows what a drawing is. But I dobut that is true. I don’t think most people know what a drawing is because most people have never made a drawing. Trouble brewing. A liar In my thought, I make a…

I’ve been working on a new linocut that is the result of the series of drawings I started after my Dad died. I haven’t worked on any prints since The Home Economy was finished back in October. Again, that was before my Dad died. So it’s been good to get…

Last time I promised to deliver more than I was able to. I sincerely apologize. (But if I spill all my guts in one epic post, what subjects will I tempt you with in the future?) This time, I hope to tell you a little more about how these prints…

What are these prints about? I get that question a lot. And it’s a good question, too. What’s that weird zombie-thing that your wife is looking at? Are you eating that raccoon? What is coming out of her forehead? What in the world does “The Home Economy” even mean anyway? Give…
