A stack of art that is new~ The results of continuing practice in mono printing, collage, color combos and designs. The top one feels so dramatic and the second is a bit quieter. The third is a “I’m not happy with it but here it is” from a frustrating pull. Ramble, ramble! A quick making of 1/3 and more notes are over in my reels section. Thanks for following, reading, commenting, all the things. I appreciate you a lot! 🖤

Oh look! Another print about the state of mind of a person. 🖤 You can see a zippy making of this first print in my reels section and read a bit more about it in the caption. This one took a few to noodle out and while I’m only partially content with it here it is! As always, thank you for following 🖤

I’ve been busy in the studio this week with work work and personal work! I pulled some new print designs but they need to be refined more, plus I encountered lots of fussy plate behavior from my gel plate…or was I just impatient? Probably the latter. I hope you like these past works! All created around this time last year. New things in the pipeline, I’m so excited to share~ Thanks as always for following, I appreciate you. 🖤

A new stack of prints! I have been working at growing my skills in masking and layering with paints and transfers in conjunction with researching symbols and symbolism. Which one do you like? I like them all for different reasons, lots of things are at play. You can see a little making of over in my reels of the first one! I filmed them all but just one reel from the bunch. Thank you always for following, it’s really nice to share my art with you 🖤

Three different color combos with this illustration as I work my way through some online design classes. I’ve been very into these rich color combos and playing with vintage concepts as I learn more about design history. Some a refresher but most new to me! Which is your favorite? I like them all for different reasons but like the addition of the stairs a lot after I did the blue one! Nothing is perfect and practice makes progress - I continue to find lots of joy in sharing what I’m making on here! Thank you for following and sticking around for all of it, I appreciate you a whole bunch

A couple of paper collages I put together at the latest @collage_crew_kzoo meet-up at @guildkalamazoo I’ve been printing so much lately that there hasn’t been as much cutting and pasting of paper these days. It was so nice to collage with my community this weekend! Thank you for following 🖤

A pile of experiments that I’m not entirely satisfied with but alas here they are! Chicago colors at the top? One of my favorite combos. I tried a new layering approach and it lead to a lot of “oops, oh crap” moments which ultimately I do appreciate. It leads to a deeper understanding of my process… There is a zippy making of a couple of these prints over in my reels section if you are interested! As always, thank you for following 🖤
