    My friend, Joe, came up to me a few weeks back and asked if I could give him something to work on. Not just anything, of course, a linocut something. You see Joe has been coming to me for several months to learn how to make prints. He is doing an excellent…

    Imagine with me for a moment that you have been working on a set of two prints for the last 8 months. Imagine that you finished the first of these back in early April – almost 6 months ago. Imagine that this piece was the most complex relief print you had…

    Now, let me say that my wife is an incredible woman. Nimble of mind, stout of heart, magnanimous of spirit, lovely of countenance… She has big thoughts about my artwork. I do not agree with all of them, but there you have it. Marriages are like that. Recently, I began…

    This is a new site and a new reason to write! I have been very, very busy since you last heard from me. I have been in the deep end of something like a linocut renaissance. You see, I very much disliked making linocuts way back when I was learning…

    If you poke around here for a while you will see some chickens. A lot of chickens. In fact, you may see more chickens than are strickly rational. That’s as it should be. I’ve been working on a series of chicken “portraits” and I have a few under my belt…

    Here’s a dragon that I just made. I was at a grammar school concert with nothing to do with my eyes. So I made sure to have my book and a couple of pens with me to keep me occupied. Unfortunately, I was seated on bleachers which hate me and…

    Way, way back in the day there was raging debate about Ted Turner and what he was doing to old movies. He was taking dumb, boring old black and white movies and modernizing and improving them with color. Of course there were those Luddites that were totally opposed to color…

    Here’s a new piece that I assembled from scraps I had laying around. The Rembrandt self-portrait copy is from a few years back when I was demonstrating linocuts. The same goes for the trilobites. The watercolored background is a little more interesting. I normally keep a scrap of paper laying…
