Takin' Care of Business . . .
. . . on this here site.
Mostly because I'm leaving this weekend for Chicago. Already feeling guilty for all the posting I won't do while I'm away.
Worked on Missy's ceramic project today. If you don't know, she's making hundreds of giant-sized sewing and corsage pins for a couple shows that are planned for later in the year. There will be drawings that accompany them. The drawings are huge! The pins have cast ceramic heads and today I sharpened their aluminum shafts on a big grinding wheel while she sanded down some pieces for firing. The corsage pins are five and a half feet tall. The sewing pins are a bit smaller.
Her next project (get this crazy bitch!) is going to be chainmail garments made out of engagement rings!! She's casting and setting the rings herself in Kansas later this year. The shows are booked and the work isn't finished yet, so she's kinda stressed, with her classes starting soon and all. I'm trying to remember where the shows are, maybe Chicago and Colorado?
I've been busy hanging out in the basement studio trying to further catalog all my work on digital film.
These are mono-prints, mostly around 22x30 (that's the size of the paper if you're wondering why all the work falls under those dimensions. . . I hate ripping paper down!). The pictures are rough, kinda blurry and the color isn't right yet, but it's definately getting better.
Enjoy!

You know Giclee is french for spray, most commonly used to describe ejaculation? I mean, the ink that prints those does "spray", but it's just silly.
In the words of Toni Fitzpatrick, ex-printer-maker turned painter (and, incidently,from Chicago), "I'm sick of making art for cheap-skates."

Hi, Nice work over at your blog.
My site work at home business may be of interest to you. Come over for a visit where you can learn a bit more about issues dealing with work at home business.
whos this tonyj person? would you like to invest in some real estate? anyway, i think those monoprints are beautiful and i cant wait to see you in chicago. i like the chainmail of engagement rings idea too. chainmail rules anyway!!
When have you ever known me to be shy about setting up my friends with some work. If it makes you feel any better, Anthony Wills has one of these.
Didn't mean to sound snappy but you know every academicly-trained print-maker is a pretentious snobs when it comes to making computer prints of the original work.
or make that, every-academically trained printer who isn't making a bunch of cash off their work.
I'm actually working on some stuff for digital print. But I still think it's different to do it with that medium in mind than to just throw everything you do on disc and repro it digitally for the sake of propigating it. It's just so lazy. bad form. mostly because of the gallery scene and how they promote the stuff like it's more than a digital print. . . calling them lithos and what-not. as if artists don't have a hard enough time seeming respectable in the world of work-a-day folks.
