5 Bridesmaids

A Chicago bride wanted to get some of my work a a gift for her 5 bridesmaides.  I framed up Longside which is a limited edition screen print in a sharp black wood frame.  

Whales T-shirt design

Just finished printing

I was hired to create a design for a Chicago band called Whales.  Spudnik Press did the printing of 80 t-shirts and we created the shirt in two color combinations on midnight and mustard.  If you haven't already listened to Whales you should check out this link to their music whalesmusic.bandcamp.com   These shirts will be for sale at their show at the Double Door in Wicker Park on July 17, 2012.

Longside- Framed

Long Side, 7- color silkscreen

I just finished framing Long Side and I'm on my way to drop it off at the Noyes Cultural Arts Center in Evanston. This group printmaking show opens mid July and will feature Handmade Prints: an exhibition artist-pulled multiples. 

Stowaway

Stowaway, 12" x 12", acrylic on board

Paintings can often be painfully slow. This piece is new but it's been around for a long time rattling in my head. I started this piece about 1.5 years ago and I only recently figured out how to finish it. I have to have a certain amount of mental distance from the start and the end of the work. I can't really give works a time limit even if I want to. There is a sister piece to Stowaway, which I worked at the same time. I'll be posting it soon. ;)
