New Image for the GSA Auction

Zoe and I just finished a new collaborative image for the Glasgow School of Art December Auction.

The piece is called: "Do you believe in 'the Hereafter'? Then you know what I'm here after!"

The image is a combination of lithographic printing (the figure in the center) and Pen & Ink Washes.  The background is based from Zoe's landscape photography taken in Iceland.

It's 50cm wide x 70 cm tall, and - of course... looks much better in person.

Hot PInk Iceland

A few more hot pink landscapes. I've made 3 so far, but want to end up with a series of 4 or 6. The landscapes are based on photos I took in Iceland.

These are a few of a new series I'm making, which I'm hoping to turn into some kind of comic book maybe. The story is based on conversations between a man and his belly. I haven't figured out the text yet...

New Print and New Action figures

This is a woodcut that I finished last week, it's my first one made at the Glasgow Print Studio, using they 150+ year old Eagle Press, which was a monster of a press.



This is my second action figure. More to come.

What Zoe's doing

So, Blake and I moved to Glasgow this fall. He's started at the Glasgow School of art for and MFA and I've started preparing for my grad school application by working on my portfolio more. Here's what I've been up to: The top is a drawing, the 2nd is a comic I'm working on about a silly story with blake, and the 3rd is a drawing of smiley, the man I sculpted below as part of my Iowa City action figures series.
