New Stuff...

Some new diazo monotype work featuring inspiration from my trip to New Orleans. The top one is entitled "Check, Please". The bottom piece is "27th Floor". They're my largest works to date using this process, measuring 36" x 55" each.

New Orleans and SGC (sort of)

So new Orleans is pretty frickin' awesome. I piggy backed down with the other printmaking grads who were going down to the Southern Graphics Council meet. I didn't register or anything, as I wanted to treat the trip more like a vacation. My first and last Spring Break as a student ever. And it was, too. I got the best of both worlds in the trip. I still got to check out some fantastic art while getting a good dose of what New Orleans is. I plan on going back someday for no other reason other than to soak in some more of the city and its flavors. I took a lot of black and white shots for some monotype work or screen print as well. So looking back it was an awesome working vacation. Here's some of the black & white stuff for fun. More potential for portrait work now that I look over it. Could be interesting...

A little diazo monotype in the works...

From Melanie Yazzie's Monotype Workshop

These are a couple of pieces from the monotype workshop Melanie Yazzie put on this past weekend here at Texas Tech. The lighter piece went back to University of Colorado with Melanie for a show featuring the work produced at her workshops. She's an awesome person and artist, and I hope to work with her again one day.
