My friend @johnrobertcraft asked me to help him weld up a couple chuckwagon tables to use as a bar at his oldest daughter’s wedding in a couple weeks. I should have told him to use some folding tables. Instead we decided make them more authentic by forging the with traditional mortise and tenon construction. I’m pretty happy with the simplicity and function of them. Full video coming soon. #blacksmith #forged #chuckwagon

These are a few pictures of my really massive print project SPIN. Annalise Gratovich helped me pack sort and sign the 24 prints that make up this self published edition on the 29th and 30th of December, clocking 10 hours each day. Each roll of 8 prints weighs over 70 pounds. Stay tuned for more pictures and a show announcement later this year. With help from many people. @bensnure @hparrishstudio @jaxontaylor4 @annalisegratovich @land_arts @aworkerscombine @chadplunket @alex_r_gregory @villagomez_cris to name a few but by no means all who helped me bring a vision I have held for over 15 years to fruition. Many thanks to all and Happy New Year!

What a whirlwind of a month! 1)l to r @jaxontaylor4 @johnrobertcraft and @hparrishstudio 2), 3) print views 4) new print “Cipher” made to set pressure for the big blocks. 5) ,6) press part views 7), 8), 9) shop in various states coming together. 10)synchronized rolling with Heather and @jaxontaylor4 looking super pro. I have been dreaming of and working towards bringing this project to fruition for over 15 years. Over the course of the last two weeks Heather Parrish @hparrishstudio University of Iowa printmaking, and @jaxontaylor4 Jackson Taylor UVA printmaking with help from me and @bensnure have completed 3 sets of 8 four foot x eight foot prints that will assemble into one 16 foot x 16 foot image. If you have been following my feed you saw me last month carving the matrix for this print in Lubbock @land_arts at the architectural worker’s combine with help from @land_arts @noah_wakefield @alex_r_gregory @chadplunket from @casp_lbk and @joeArredondo . This work will debut next year in Amarillo at AMoA. Thrilled to see this all begin to come together. #SPIN #minimalandcontemporary #inkonpaper #hparrishstudio #uiowaprint #jaxontaylor #kouricorrao #exhibitions2d #amarillomuseumofart #flatbedpress #texasprintmaking #elcuervopublishing

Here are a couple of shots of Josefina by the multi-talented @villagomez_cris . In Josefina’s life in the northeast she injured two people (or at least one person twice),so I held a small naming ceremony and smudged her with sage and mescal with a raven feather so she will maybe be content and Pacifico. If you are not Familiar with Cris’s photography go to his page and check him out. Big thanks to Cris for all of his help yesterday. @johnrobertcraft @villagomez_cris #inkonpaper #minimalandcontemporary #ritual #oldtools #mescal #madremescal
