Calacas Prints are in!

These are a few of my favorites from the exchange. Carlos Barberena did an amazing job on the exchange and exhibitions! I hope he does more like this. It was fantastic seeing everyone's interpretation of Hispanic culture and the calaca imagery. : )

Special Commission Photo Drawing

This is a special commission I did for a client who wanted a hand drawn rendition of her engagement photos for a wedding announcement. See the final version of the announcement in my new Design portfolio section!

Cascade Print Exchange 2012

Hey guys! It's time again for the next Cascade Print Exchange. This is an annual print exchange hosted by Oregon State. : )

There's only 150 spots available, so if you want to get in it, then you need to RSVP now. The exchange is for 5" x 7" prints (any method, no theme) and entries are due January 31, 2012! Entry is FREE, so I definitely encourage participation on this one.

For all of the details and info, go to this link:

They also have a nice collection of images from last year's exchange too. 

Pumpkins Linocut Print

Here's my new Fall 2011 print, "Pumpkins." I wanted to do a little something festive this year for Halloween, so pumpkins are always a fun starting point!

Here's a link if you are interested in buying one. : )

Save the Date!

In a few weeks I will be participating in a local holiday art festival. There will be tons of booths for the local artists and we will be selling our wares and schmoozing. I will be selling prints, Christmas cards, and some original paintings/illustrations as well!

Here's the event info:

Hamilton Wood Type Clothes!

Hey fellow Printmaking and Letterpress enthusiasts! Target has recently released a line of their Mossimo clothes using the stuff at the Hamilton wood type museum. So they have so really fun designs using layered type prints and fun stuff like that, but also some really neat designs based on die-cuts!! I love the attention to design and the nod to printmaking in general. :) Get excited!

^ Here's a terrible picture I took on my cell phone of the labels.

Here's a link to a cute die-cut design and here's a neat dude's shirt:
