  1. Dead Celebrities of 2016: First successful linocut

    2017-04-19 19:23:00 UTC

    Last week I completed a linocut block of Merle Haggard, and pulled some terrible prints from it (see previous post). Panic began to creep into my heart as I realized I had no idea what to do! Thankfully printmaker Julianna Kirwin is a kind and generous soul. We had a…

  2. Dead Celebrities of 2016: First Linocut Attempt

    2017-04-11 16:23:00 UTC

    Dead Celebrities of 2016, a collaboration with Lee Fearnside, just got more real. Facebook page!  Prince. Carrie Fisher. Leonard Cohen. David Bowie. Not to mention Glen Frey, Boutros Boutros Ghali, and dozens more. The Reaper was on turbo all year long. Both Lee and I got interested in the way…

  3. Shifting Ground

    2016-10-27 20:08:00 UTC

    The Patriarch. Completed October 2016 in acrylic on panel, 16”x16”. I bought 20 16x16x2 panels from Albuquerque craftsman Bruce Loyd earlier this year. At the time, I hoped the move would help me expand the dimensions of my painting practice, firstly by giving me a bigger pool of panels to…

  4. In process: new grounds

    After two weeks of chaos and destruction, I’ve wrung more space out of my studio. The plaster dust and nails are swept up, and I’m at last able to move forward on the 20 16” x 16” panels I’d prepped a ways back.  In the images here, I’ve manipulated Fiber…

  5. In Progress: Landscapes

    2016-01-26 19:36:00 UTC

    I’m working loosely and quickly on the textured ground and underpainting of a collection of (mostly) square panels. My aim is to engage the space and budding narrative of each one in turn, exchanging areas of low energy with new life, clarifying where I can and culling what I must.…

  6. Open Space Visitor Center: Disc Grid in progress

    2015-10-25 20:19:00 UTC

    I’m planning a large wall installation for this show, the biggest I’ve tried. It will be made of many (50? 70? 100?) paperclay discs, arranged in a grid on one wall of the Visitor Center. The discs are made of paperclay; the incomparable Maria Young has made 24 12” diameter…

  7. Making Photographs

    2015-09-28 20:13:00 UTC

    Aaron Diskin, now a photographer and musician, and I went to high school together. At the time, our school had a photography program, including a darkroom, led by Jack Zichitella. Mr. Z provided us with the mentorship, information and resources to develop the idea that we were artists. All of…
