Upholstering some wall circles with painted, printed, and embroidered stuff.
Finishing up the last batches of prints for my installation.
By the end of today, I will have pulled a varied edition of 129 multiple layer screenprints in two and a half days.
Then I have to cut up everything and fold most of the paper into various prismatic forms.
Expect a wave of posts soon with photos from the entire endevor.
Setting my name in type reminds me that basically every boy in middle school had to point out what my name spelled backwards is.
Simple Green is my degreaser of choice for both cleaning bikes and printmaking messes.
And yeah, those tins are from Qdoba.
Part of an installation-ish thing. Screenprint and paint on wood cut out fabulously with a bandsaw.
Embroidering my circles. The canvas has so much ink, paint, and varnish on it that it won’t fit in a hoop.

…Unless I use them as coasters.

You may disagree, but I think masking tape makes for a perfectly good registration system.
