Zoe featured at SF Art Enthusiast!

Zoe was featured, alongside a few of her fellow SFAI MFA Program graduates over at SF Art Enthusiast.  The article discusses her group show, and includes a photograph of her "Foamless = Homeless" work  

[...] "San Francisco Art Institute’s “Currency,” which featured new work from nearly 100 Masters of Fine Art students on view from May 16 to 19 at The Old Mint was an exciting opportunity to see contemporary expressions of local artists within a uniquely San Francisco National Historic Landmark.

Zoe's gut book and studio

Hello! Here are some images of a book I made and my studio set up for SFAI' open studio event a couple of Saturdays ago. The book i letterpressed, and rainbow rolled. Hand-set type, rubber tongues.

FOAMLESS = HOMELESS PREVIEW SHOTS

Some studio shots of my house mountain in progress. Just imagine it all with more foam and less plastic wrap. That's there so I can pull my houses out of the foam for moving.

New Projects

Apologies for the lack of updates on the blog... Blake and Zoe have been quite busy over the past few weeks, just for a quick rundown:


• Blake is still re-editing, doing color alterations, and soundtracking the stop-motion animation that we posted a preview image from earlier

• Zoe is starting on a new project in San Francisco, using Doll Houses and some 'unique' materials (more on that later)


• Blake finally set up a SoundCloud Account, to host his mixes... he just posted something from a few days ago, click here

• Blake is finally putting the finishing touches on a collaborative image that he was working on with Zoe earlier (preview below), called "Business Birds."  He just needs to 'amp up' the colors a bit more - basically, he's going to make the bird colors 'more like candy' and a bit fluorescent - instead of the more muted ones seen below: 


• Blake is also working on a project relating to memory, beginning specifically with his experience with a statue of Saint Lucy, a preview image of the first part of the image is below the "Business Birds".  It will be print that combines digital & serigraph techniques with added sculptural portions.
