prints with drawingggg

I've been trying to get a lot of prints done lately, but it's been hard for me to finish any because I keep wanting to add more and more to them! Lately I've been working with silk screening flat mountainous figures with the digital texture I always use, then drawing back into them for more detail. This is one in the beginning stages right now(click to enlarge these images):
Here is a detail of a large full sheet fabriano paper:
the full view, still in progress:
here's another with different drawings:
here they are when i first started, there's an edition of 6, but all a little different:
This is a little print I'm finishing up an edition of 3:


My big panels are really frustrating me right now so I'm not going to show those yet. Once I finish them I'll post them on here. My friend Sam and I are having a show together in July (here is his blog) and it's going to awesome! It's at henry's and we get to fill the whole upstairs and downstairs. I'll have more details when the time comes. Hopefully soon there'll be a group show coming up as well. Anyways, lately all i've been doing is drawing, reading, planting, cooking and riding bikes... so I'm having a great spring so far!

earlier prints


So, I have about 7 different kinds of prints in progress right now. These are some i started earlier in the year but I am still working on them. Started off as monotype silkscreens and I've been printing, painting, and drawing on them.
here's a detail of the trees:


I also have several panels with printing, oil painting, and drawing in progress. I'll put up pictures of those soon. I've been really inspired after SGC to spend a lot more time on my work, and I've realized I need to spend a lot more time thinking through the process before jumping in. I've slowed myself down in the past week and it's been really helpful. I'll put up pictures of the print I did last night and my paintings probably in the next few days..... so keep checking!

love,
