This past weekend had the openings for the ATTENTION: corcoran print portfolio 2012 and Excellence in Printmaking. We’ve gotten great notes from many that the Attention opening was fantastic and the show was even better than years before. While the Excellence was also a strong show, no one from the corcoran was selected as grand prize (which is disappointing because they gave us a shout out for having the most innovative work at our age.) Alas.
In other news, I have a few things up my sleve for unveiling soon. More prints more screen prints. Hopefully i’ll get around to doing a few massive lithos.
Also, totally going to SGCI, any one else?
Enforce attention like deep harmony(WIP) 2011. Digital film print.
This is my newest muse. Some how, I’ve found a new (mental) place to be because of this new set of imagery . I’m not sure if it’s good or not yet but I hope my work will flourish at this point.
Ball Grain Lithography Plates.
I’m doing a large multiple portrait series, of every one that i communicate with. Also, i the way we counter reflect is apart of it.
This is Magdalene. She’s our Charles Brand Lithography Press. She’s my darlin. She lives at the Corcoran College of Art + Design georgetown campus. Shes a shortie, so we get along.
Litho reduction. This dang Stone is 34x24; I like the brilliant lithographer that I am, managed to close the stone with SILVER ink, a no no. So of course seeing as it’s a black slate reduction… IT WASN’T CO OPERATING… luckily after a few hrs of performing lithographic ER maneuvers I fixed it and managed to reduce. SCORE!

Well, I’ve begun the 5th year of my BFA / MAT program and officially now a graduate! Wooo! Its so far been exciting and a whole lot of work. I know i’ll get used to it but geez, i didn’t think i’d over booked. Buuuuut i did.
Art News:
I have work at the Corcoran Gallary of Art gift shop and its so far sold a few prints (apparently) Here’s to hoping for an extra boost in promo!
I’ll be in an Southern Graphics International print portfolio for this year. Pretty stoked although its going to be a 20x24in print. crap, better get cracking.
Also, I’ll be head minioning and printing for the corcoran print portfolio… obviously i love to print.
So far i’ve been working on that illustration »»>
Its Done, now its to print and debate if i’ll make it wall paper or not. Will take for - ev- er. Alas.
I still haven’t finished that 24x30in litho stone, dang trying to be an overacheiver ;D
I have a lino cut series im working on and i have a few plots for prints, but nothing done so far.
I’ve been working for several local artists and such so hopefully all of that EXP. will come in handy when i go to settle down on what i want to do forever.
SO, work is going to slowly stream in and also as i digitize all of my work.
Thanks for tumblr’in
EDIT( THIS GIF IS AWESOME. USE IT FOREVER.)
Visions. I- IV. 2010. found lithographic photoplates.
Memorias de mi pasado. 2011. Digital Print; WIP
Memories of my past. This is a picture of my grandmother and grandfather. This may go into screenprinting at some point. Not sure.
Its the Anxiety that Kills us. 2011. Varied Edition Stone Lithograph
Still haven’t worked on reducing it… soon. soon.
From the Studio of the Corcoran college of art and design: Tell me this isn’t glorious. Its the large roller (about 23in wide…) rolled up with this faaaaaaaaaaaaabulous chrome silver ink. Its beauuuutiful. I was the first one to break this roller in. Its name? Harriet. :) Shes our lovely curvy lady.
“Anxiety only kills us both” Stone Lithograph. 2011
its a working edition, i’m doing a reduction and hopefully by the end i’ll have a great reduced print. I dont think i’ve been THIS excited about a print ever. i’m in love with my print.
WIP: it’s the first proof off the 24x34 inch stone. This sucker I huge. It hasn’t been used in what’s guestimated 10 years. It’s going to be a reductive but to really keep a record think I’m going to do working editions..
/excited/
