Almost done with a new stencil!
It's for printing on apparel, but I'll probably end up using it for mixed media pieces as well! : D

Oregon Ink Spot Exchange Prints
The 2011 Oregon Ink Spot Print Exchange results are in! w00t! I got some very nice relief prints and some random fun ones. Check them out! These are my top 8 favorites of the 15 I received.
New Studio Set Up and Woodcuts
Hey guys! Just a quick summer update... I finally got my baby press installed and functional so I'm churning out reprints of old blocks and working on some new pieces as well.
I'm currently working on some hand painted versions of old prints like this:
And I'm working on a new pair of woodcuts that are sister prints. It's two rockabilly characters that were actually derived from what I did in the print above. I'm am almost halfway cutting the guy's block, then I'll start on the chick:

Color layer for owl reduction print!
Here's the first layer for the owl reduction print I'm currently working on.
It's almost a rainbow roll; instead of doing it the normally blended way, I made up three colors and freely rolled them individually on the block in specific areas to achieve a more mixed and splotchy affect. I was hoping it would look a little autumnal. The detailed final layer with the outline and dark areas with be printed in a deep brownish-black. I will probably do some prints of just the detail layer as well, just for kicks!

It's about time for print exchange prints to roll in. So far, I've received prints from the Leftovers exchange, and they are fabulous.
The presentation was totally worth the entry. It came neatly put together with a super cute napkin and receipt.
Love it! The prints I got are really awesome too. Here's a sample:
