EARGASM! Quick Print Update!

Here's a superquick print update...this is a woodblock print with a keyblock and a second block all jigsawed out so that I could ink the pieces individually and print all the colors in one go. EARGASM!



And here it is without the background, coming soon to a t-shirt near you!



Still having a blast in Italy...look out for more jewelry etc. soon!

Cortona Streets and Priests: Intaglio Prints!

Here are my first ever intaglio prints! These guys are etched into plates, inked up, and run through the press to produce awesome little prints. I have a long way to go before Intaglio Masterdom, but here's a start! This first one is two separate plates of a sketch I did of one of the alleyways here in Cortona, Italy.



This one is a three-plate print inspired by my recent trip to the Vatican:



And here's another version of it, a "ghost print" made by printing off of the key plate a second time:



Still having a great time in Italy...only a month left!

A Jewelry Mini-Post

If you're interested what I've been doing in Italy other than making things, you can follow my video blog starting with this video!
