Woodblock in progress

Due to my mental/emotional battle with a saddening world.

I seem to have packed this with a world into which I would escape.

Having simply run out of wood to cut, I guess it's time to get it ready to print.

Early Man Hunting-beginning of the block

This is only about 1/12 of the block.

Not yet completely cut 

and going slow because I seem to be drawing it as I go,

changing my mind, adding things, eliminating things,

not following "the plan"

which makes it rather more challenging than normal,

but OH, so much more interesting.

Prints will b available and dry by the Fall Art Tour.

Rubbings from the Betty Blocks

These are only rubbings of what some are calling 

the Betty Blocks.

Five are completed,

so, the official printing is in the near future!

Twenty-nine of my pieces are on exhibition 

with the spectacular works of S.V. Medaris and Ray Gloeckler.

It's a good, strong show.

Twenty-five miles north of Milwaukee, it's well worth a visit.

The show will be up through November 8th.

COLLAGRAPHY!

These are not etchings...they are collagraphs.

SO excited!

Etching press squared up and working great!

These ARE the first proofs from the press in the new studio...

and with NEW blankets!

No, not the best photos, but they'd have to dry before flattening...

and I just didn't want to wait.

SO good to see this!

More later! 
 This next one...
I couldn't stop myself. 
I was just messing around....experimenting.

I should have known better.
I grabbed a too thin aluminum plate that was lumpy...
Bent, not straight...yes, lumpy.
I'll work to get a good print of it...
and never, ever use a lumpy, bent plate again!!

Rockets....1st state.
