Delusions of Grandeur

On my last night with access to the Vandercook, I printed a set of notebooks to sell at the print sale, just before the end of my undergraduate career. I couldn't help myself from printing such a deliciously snarky phrase on these notebooks which would soon be full of sketches and ideas.

I don't entirely mean to be an asshole; belittling others' ideas, creativity, and aspirations. I just want to be realistic, if only for a second.

POLICE

Police, 2012, 2-Color Trace Monotype, 8"x 8"

The first print of the new year, made for the No Press Print exchange organized by Anna Reser. The exchange required an edition or series of 8, 8"x8" prints created without the use of a printing press, thus the name.

I used an old image of mine and a brand-spanking-new technique, the trace monotype, which is basically fancy, homemade tracing paper. It is a simple process that has plenty of untapped potential; I will try to push it further in the coming months. I also used Akua water-based inks for the first time and they are AWESOME; they clean up so very easily.

Not sure if images of the entries will go online, if not I will try to post them when I get my set.

(un)Familiar

Well now that it's been a little over a month since my show and things have finally settled down, it is time to put up pictures! If you are interested in anything, let me know and we can discuss, barter, and/or haggle.

Negative Space Revisit

After my triangle was up for a while, people eventually posted flyers inside it. I decided to exact my revenge and send a warning to all prospective posters.
