Tragedy!

Boeing Surplus will be closing its doors in late December, transferring the teat of the military industrial complex from the people to 3rd party profiteers. This is the best place in the Seattle area to buy giant pieces of aluminum, honeycomb, aviation grade high density foam, air tools, and oversized drill bits. Please pay your respects before its too late.

New Print, Still under construction

Radix, 2007
15in x 10in
linocut on watercolor paper
edition of 50 with 1 artist proof
(not yet completed)

I've been working on a linocut for the last couple weeks, and its now to the point of trying to figure out what I'm doing. The print itself measures 8in x 5in, and is slightly dimensional with rich, thick block printing enamel. You can see by the photo below that I am extremely well suited for print making, and have all the necessary tools.

Serpentine

Serpentine, 2007
Salt, sugar, aluminum and ink over cement and wire
17in x 22in

Viveza gets press

Carrie Scott wrote this fair summation of the Viveza mission statement for the Seattle Weekly. In way, I think its the worst possible press anybody could ever get, though its not exactly a "bad review." She didn't misquote, or misrelate. We got two giant photos and basically the entire arts section for the week, but man...its really terrible press.

My drive home: Quagmired in hate

This tale begins like any great tale. On the Microsoft Campus in Redmond. Only 18 short miles from Renton, which is only 22 short miles from Ballard, which is the route I must take.
It takes me 2.5 hours.
