not so recent creative attempts: a little gallery


drink, 2002.  my biggest woodcut--about 14" x 30".  


2 men, 2005. Most of my wood cuts are around 7-10 inches, and are inspired by photographs in the newspaper.
Usually, I'd start with some off cut of wood, paint it black, then start working it. About half the time, I would never print anything off it, because I find the contrast between the black field and the raw wood exposed in the process more satisfying that a print, and the none of the subtle detail gets lost.  



gasworks park, 2005.  This is the only time I've done a multiple block print.

mike, 2003

Over time, I'll load up more images--I have probably 60 blocks sitting around in the back bedroom.
