The April 2013 CityArt show is installed and open.  This month I am  experimenting with some heavy artillery.  I would be honored if you stopped by this month to check it out in person.  Thanks to EB for hanging helping.

This is one of a few reoccurring episodes in which a particular observation has recently come to light. Not that I expect most people to take too much interest, but for me this simple detail could have repercussions on the way I make art.  Long story short: I have discovered that I can layer other media on top of my screen prints.   Even watercolors and stains.  All I have to do is properly heat set my prints.

Due to popular  demand (!),  I did a second edition of Michelle’s Print from last summer.  Inspired from a photo my sister shot of some jerk in Santa Cruz, she specially requested the original project.  I made nine for her birthday and now there are eight more.  I just need to brand ’em. Decidedly more rainbowy than the originals, here is how one of them turned out:

Here is where I am recording the July 2012 configuration of my display at Coyote Counter Collective.  423 40th street in Oakland.  This month I’m showing framed prints on cardboard, Michelle’s beach print on pine, and a mini installation of wooden tiles.

Hello.  I recently completed a small commission to develop this photo into a series of prints, using only nine planks of laminated pine and one slice of homemade Ranier cherry pie:

The commissioner? My sister Michelle. The event?  Her birthday in July.  The final prints can be found in my objects section.  Here is a small sample:
