Wow. The past few days have been kind of crazy here. I’ve been preparing for MICA’s Art Market which has been more work than I thought it was going to be, but completely worth it. In addition, I woke up this morning intending to do a little website updating to realize that my account was disabled because someone hacked into my out-of-date Wordpress install. Oops. So that’s fixed now. Anyway, more importantly…

New work! A ten-color screenprint, 10×10″, that I just finished last weekend. It’s mostly for the Studio Remix print exchange, but I have a bunch of artist proofs that are for sale at Art Market right now. Whatever is left over will be on the etsy shop on Sunday. 

I think I’m going to encorporate more hand drawn elements into my work. Maybe knock back the color a little bit, use more transparent colors or softer colors with small pops of brights. And definitely encorporate collage elements. I’ve been working on some small collages in my free time and they’re really helping me get back to making art on a regular basis. It’s just so natural to me to cut, tear, arrange and glue down elements. 

I’ve been thinking about how emphemeral memories can be, that sort of fleeting, “better catch it while you can” feeling. I’d really like that to come across in my work. Little moments that form a greater whole, a brand new space/place. I know it’s all very vague right now, but it’ll come to form and hopefull make a lot more sense. I suppose it wouldn’t hurt for me to write a better statement either. Big plans in the near future!
