sneaked (snuk?) into spudnik press last night before the ice storm and finished some prints. some photos and scans. two sets of prints, boxer and conversations. boxer was pretty straightforward. i knew what i wanted and with some minor flaws still came out ok. i printed on both paper and chipboard.

the conversations piece i altered a bit, adding more spectres of the walking figure to some, leaving others alone so each print is different. some examples below.

such a warm, relaxed atmosphere at spudnik (thanks, angee)

new painting. goauche. paper. ink.

it may not be overally obvious but subtlety is important to me. i don’t like pointing things out in the work. the IV here seems like overkill, an intentional pointing to, a nudge. normally i would have left that out and had the figure and the birds but i was talking to my friend melissa earlier (a great artist who i could link to here IF she had a website, ahem) about chemotherapy and its side effects and it affected the work. everything affects the work but tonite it came through differently.
