Slice of Life

New print. No matter how thin you slice it, it's still a slice of life. How much can you analyze any given situation? Decisions are the currency of time. All the plotting and strategizing you can do doesn't change the fact that everyone still has their fated destination. In retrospect, all your choices seem to have moved with a life of their own and the sky is still above you.

Hive

The hotel we stayed at for Missy's show opening was an old bank. It had these intense, brass carvings of bees and hives running along the old teller booths and up the ceilings.

Ever since I've been wanting to do a hive print. After a couple false starts I came up with this:

New Print for Office of International Affairs Portfolio

That's right.

It's black and white.

I don't know why . . .

I keep drawing this thing. I think maybe it's my spirit animal.

I'm afraid I'm gonna have to make a print that features it, possibly as a pair.

It's etching overnight. I think it involves little print elves and greasy brushes . . . but I don't know for sure (just kidding. I know it's all about the oleo manganate). Some people say it's the best drawing surface ever. Sometimes it just feels like using a crayon on a piece of reticulated cardboard.

documentation

Every artist has to go through the ordeal of documentation. This is fancy art talk for getting a good photograph of your work. Now, my silkscreen prints are usually generated on the computer (do a drawing, scan it in, make a bunch of separated layers in photoshop . . . .) which means I have a good image of what they'll look like on my computer before they are even made, hence, no pain in the ass photo sessions. Point in case, that last entry (when I wrote, "here's all my new prints . . . . ") what you were looking at was a bunch of pre-conceived print ideas. After a good weekend of printing:
