FIRST PRINTS

Here are the first prints I pulled from the new press. These were all done from Leonard Baskin sculptures.
Each print I was experimenting with the amount of wetness for the paper, the press pressure, amount of ink, and the combination of blankets. The last one (the face) is the closest, so far. More to come.

EVELYN

A lot of my time this past week has been dedicated to promotion. These are the never ending envelopes, which I have been printing by hand.

BUUUTT, this little gal came into my life today! I call her Evelyn and she is all that is awesome. Its a Takach 24x36 tabletop etching press. I am stoked that I can actually print a full sheet without having to use a damn rolling pin (although Pam has been good to me). T-Flow, Robyn, and myself will be printing all night tonight.



If your wondering why all my equipment is referred to as a woman, I have no idea. Sounds good I guess.

I did some of these pages while helping the gentlemen of the Illustration Academy promote the Visual Literacy Program this weekend. Along with Robyn and Ted, Jason Chan was in attendance. It was great spending time with everyone and catching up.

Who is this?
