A good portion of the linocuts I made in 2002 are pictured here. The two salmon at the top are the most recent, from a series of 5 salmon cuts. There are a few different variations I am currently working on, the two above are printed on metal, there are a few not-pictured that were printed on paper, and this work will probably carry me well into 2003. All of the prints on this page are printed on paper, metal or directly on wood, and are mounted on wood with edges painted black.

go figure, I did an edition of 100 tiny robots (after doing an edition of 10 that went very fast) after claiming I probably wouldn't do numbered editions any more :-) Never say never. Ask for one today!
Last Updated: Dec 30, 2002 - Happy New Year!
About the 2002 work: I have gotten a little more brave with my prints and have begun to cut them up, and re-assemble them. This came about for several reasons. I already do this with images before I come up with my design to cut - so this is an extension of that process, where I now choose the interesting bits from the bits I already found interesting enough to cut. I had already come to the conclusion that doing editions was not my main pursuit in printing - even though creating multiples is much of the reason printmaking exists. I have also decided that I am very tired of paying framing costs. Lets face it, a nice frame costs a lot. People don't have a clue what it costs to frame a small piece. It drives up the cost of the work, and even worse...it is TIME CONSUMING, and as the saying goes "I'd rather be printing".
I have found that printing on paper, printing on wood, or printing on sheet metal, and then mounting the results on wood brings my work to the level of finish I desired in framing, although it's more akin to the way paintings are presented than the way you are used to seeing a print presented. Something I like about paintings - painters can choose to paint up to and right over the edge. And...I like the shine of the metal or the weave of the woodgrain as a contribting texture.
Comments most welcome!
