Fractal Grafitti
This is a new image inspired by a friend who recently acquired one of my fractal images called Snail Polka. It’s a large format print which now hangs in his Arkhangelsk apartment in northern Russia. His latitude is in the same neighborhood as me except I’m on the flip side of the planet. The image above is called Undulating Spirits. I’ve... [Read more...]
Artspeak!
I came across another good example of an artist spewing forth in that pretentious language known as “Artspeak”, it gives me one hell of a belly laugh! “A continuum. The point at which deliberate order and reactive composition come together. The place where aestheticism meets spontaneous textural muscularity. Charged by relational... [Read more...]
Linocut chopped up into four pieces
Here’s another linocut from my archives that I made in the 1980′s employing a technique used by Edvard Munch. It’s the “jigsaw” method, meaning that you cut apart the elements of the lino block that you want inked separately. Then they are carefully assembled on the bed of the press and printed all at once.

Knotty Dog

It holds a special place for me because I sent it to my mom way back when, to offer up as a donation for one of several raffle prizes at a “church lady” fund raiser event. The punchline is that the winner of this linocut – which I happen... [Read more...]
Inaugural Linocut
I went for the naive folk art look in my approach to this lino-cut. This print is also a tip of the hat to the rich heritage of African American vernacular art. Click on Barack Obama Linocut for more detail. Read More →
Pinhole Polaroids
I found this Polaroid pinhole camera on the web this past summer after digging around looking for SX70 film. Looks like film for Polaroid is going the way of the Dodo bird, a shame since there seems to be a re-kindled interest among photographers in this medium. I was pretty excited to get this from a place in Germany that scours the world for warehoused... [Read more...]
Sucked Into the Green
Our old friend Bob Frisch knew the Yukon terrain like the back of his hand, he could lope over a mountain range at the drop of a hat in the way most of us trek over to the local convenience store for a bag of chips and a bottle of soda. One day he disappeared for weeks without a trace. We all got worried about this prolonged absence despite our faith... [Read more...]
