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

We got two giant photos and basically the entire arts section for the week, but man...its really terrible press.
