PRINTMAKING AND YOU
Please help me out, this is for my thesis and I need responses! Pretty please with a cherry on top?
// See You in New Orleans!!!//
Hey ya’ll! Super stoked to see everyone from the tumbl-verse there!
I would like to ask an open favor to all that are going to southern graphics!
Are you a Newbie printer? A Veteran printer? A k-12 public/private school teacher? Are you teaching college printmaking? Please come find me at the OPEN PORTFOLIOS; I would like for you to fill out a quick 4 question survey for my thesis!
Can Printmaking enhance and enrich a 9-12 Highschool Art curriculum?
(Working title… But gives you an idea! Please help me out. )
(ps: Could i use any more exclamation points?!)
// And then…//
My thesis got in to ANOTHER exhibition. The Corcoran Alumni Exhibition.

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?

Its taken me a while to finally get this image set straight, i realized one day that these images ment to be paired together and not separate, i’ve also decided that i’m making this semester my ‘Payne’s grey” semester.
So I’m now attempting to run an edition of this print.. I ran into a problem with my registration AND one of the plates (go me) so gotta go in and re-work! But I like this color pallet better than the skin tones…. I love paynes grey.
// I love amazon. //
So my MAT (Masters in Art Teaching ) thesis is going to be Printmaking and how it can further enrich the art curriculum. I SO JUST ORDERED 47$ of BOOKS on JUST PRINTMAKING, its going to be christmas all month.
I got the tamarind book (the old vers.) and the complete printmaker book too the one from 1978 AND the 1995 edition (on top of 5 other books) . I LOVE seeing the differences over time. I’m just hoping Amazon ships these books out in the next week or two. I NEED TO GET READING ASAP.
i told you i’d use this gif again.
Anyways, I’ve entered work into the DC art bank and crossing my fingers they’ll want some of my work.
I’ve been on a stall, not enough time in the day to work on my own stuff. I’ll soon just pull late nights and disregard sleep again, so eventually you’ll see more finished prints and maybe the selfportrait printed soon. (Seeing as that needs to be submitted by the end of the month. oops)
Ribcage! WIP ; i just ran an edition of 7 on mulberry and it looks fantastic! eventually I’ll add chinecole and do Collagraph plates for the color. Pretty excited!!
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!
