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

A Favorite Linocut I’ve unearthed this old linocut of mine from one of my print drawers. 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 [...]

Inaugural Linocut

Here’s my  homage to the new American President. I went for the naive folk art look in my approach to this lino-cut.

Pinhole Polaroids

Box 40

Here’s my offering for the Box 40 show which opens on the 17th of May at the YAAW gallery in Whitehorse. All members were given a blank box to decorate in some way for the exhibition which will also serve as a fund raiser for ceramic artist Patrick Royle who is in the hospital right [...]

Lou Reed

The other day when it was forty below outside I was hankering for a dose of mental therapy. So I made a linocut of Lou Reed. Why? It’s anyone’s guess. Maybe it’s because of that “School of Hard Knocks” face and the quintessential New Yorker ‘tude. He exudes some kind of  integrity or presence. Had [...]
