Those two images

...so you might have noticed, in the last post - there were two images in the photographs from Red Bistro, that weren't posted earlier here on the blog.


Blake constructed and printed them while still in San Francisco, and didn't have a chance to put them up on the blog.


(Just as a note - the first image, when printed did not have the white border around the perimeter... it's a 'bleed print' like the second image)


Just as a reminder - if you like any of Blake or Zoe's work... just send us an email, and we'll get back to you swiftly...  And - we will be updating our etsy site (and possibly something extra as well) soon... mega post coming up in the next few days...

Jet Lag

A few more new things...


Blake is back in Glasgow, working on a few new projects (including getting over horrible jet lag) & Zoe is finishing up her house piece* and starting up a few new courses


*we have a few preview photo's of this but we didn't want to overload this one post with too many pictures...


Back on Friday, Blake installed his series of new prints (including two new images he drew in San Francisco) at Red Bistro.


Here are some photo's of them at the location...

Happy New Year!!!

Hi everyone - 


So some updates ... 


I'm visiting San Francisco to check out the area with Zoe, get to know the city, and hopefully land some potential work for when I move out here after I'm done with the MFA program in Glasgow.  


In the meantime, I'm working on my dissertation (outline's due on Wednesday) and it looks like I *will* be showing some of my new work in Des Moines before I go back to Glasgow (fingers crossed)


Photo's from San Francisco coming soon... but here's a bit of a preview of what will be shown in Iowa...  It will be a set of lithographs and giclee prints, each is about two feet wide by three feet tall

Here's a preview image (photo of the scarf itself coming soon):

Additionally, here are some alternate images that sort of 'grew' out of the original images, which are going to be completed in a different medium.

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.

MFA AUCTION (and other updates)

Apologies for the lack of updates recently.  Zoe & I try to post something up here at least once a week... but November has been quite busy.


First things first - I've been working like a madman in the print studio recently, and am working on two new litho's that fall in line with the one I recently posted (which btw - I decided looked better flipped around...) - when I can get a place with GOOD lighting, I'll post up all three


Also - scarves are coming back!  After a Skype conversation, we decided to make some more.  These will look very different than the first series.  I'm going to try and print them on Monday... so they'll be available just before Christmas


and Finally - the image for "Lost Sheep in Glasgow" will be available for sale at the Glasgow School of Art MFA Auction this December 3rd.  All the proceeds go to the MFA students' final show which will be held in Berlin (details on that a bit later)


It will be at The Birggait, 141 Bridgegate
6PM – Preview & Silent Auction with complimentary canapés and apéritifs
8:30PM – Live Auction begins

New Prints...

I just finished a series of new (large) litho prints in Glasgow...


The image is just over two feet wide and three feet tall.  


There are two different versions of it: for one print, I 'fixed' some glitter by reprinting the blue layer (after finishing all the other colors) with just transparent base.  Immediately after printing that layer, I coated the paper with glitter - and it only stuck where the trans-base was.


Unfortunately - the lighting in the studio wasn't so hot (there's basically only those ceiling lights found in offices) and it was a particularly cloudy day.  They look incredible and vibrant in person, but on the wall, a spotlight is pretty much necessary.  Which is why I also included the original drawing at the bottom.


But anyways - I don't have a title yet, and I'm pretty sure that this image will be a part of the series relating to the "Saint Lucy" image
