That will be updated early summer with many many more photos of work.

this blog is almost done.

will post one more entry after this. Should have a website up real soon, as in one[hopefully] to three[maximum] weeks.

after that is up i might start another blog connected directly to the site. if so it’ll be more focused and some specific objective.

Today i give an abundance of drawings. A bunch of wash drawings i made some time last month. I’ll make one follow up post to share some recent larger works, but they are on a school hard drive.

the images from a recent book of drawings completed this summer will be available for viewing at this blog over here. http://martyrsbook.wordpress.com/

i’ll add one or two a day. they get better. depending on your interests i suppose. A brief history of martyrdom starting with the early christian era to the present day.

revisiting idea from undergraduate. book of martyrs.

art show.

summer. no school. making work.
aka. having a phone that takes photographs.

some things i forgot to mention previously. . .

these are old plates, the backs of plates, scraps of plates, barely scraped and altered old images and completely scraped and burnished out images. finding somethin’ out of the mess of foulbite, wear, and garbage prior drawings- is somewhat important to them.

copper plate etchings, varying gauge, blue/ black ink, rives bfk white 250 gsm, paper size: 7.5×11″, image size: varies

short and sweet.

three things.
01. a suite of prints. dealing with the devil, but not always figuratively, or literally. issues of temptation and frustration and religion. twenty plates started.
02. books, some book projects will be wrapped up this summer. one on furries but not faithful to the community, another a collaboration of drawings with simple and open theme of sex.
03. website coming at the end of summer- hopefully.

cats. the horizontal drawings. six of twenty.
