I will be attending Kids Read Comics with a bunch of new comics! Check it out and if you are in the area…please stop by.

HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!

To start things off right…we are already offering three new art prints, starting a new series called The Woodlands (the Foxes, of course, being my favorite design thus far!) Check out our Art Print page for more details about the individual prints!

This also starts off our 2009 Art Print Subscription. You can already get a healthy feel for what will be available to you as a subscriber. For more information about the sub, please click here.

MORE LATER!!!

Here is a glimpse of an art-print series I am working on for this year. The Bees and The Moths are already printed. I’m printing all of these on French’s Poptone-Whip Cream, 140weight…this paper is so nice and lush I am addicted to using it now. The Lightning Bugs will probably be printed in August. All of these are 4-color, 19″x25″ printed in a very, very small edition of 35. I’ll admit…I am really enjoying creating these…there might be more!

Check out our website for more info on these.

The Umbrella painting in the center of the image, titled aparade, is Brian’s contribution to the show. As you see the Ice House was beautifully decorated and the event and art were amazing.

Group show featuring 30 Lexington artists collaboratively curated/coordinated by Ed Franklin, Caitlin Heinz, Ellen Molle, and Talena Sanders.

Here are just a few of the TINY acrylic and gouache paintings I’m submitting for the show.

This year I’ve been making a point to produce more art prints. I started a series consisting of girls and their (often times destructive) collections. To be honest…it wasn’t a conscious theme in the beginning. It just happened that the subjects of my prints were somewhat selfish in what they liked to collect…as in living creatures they try to possess. I like to think that this quality is sometimes endearing…like catching lightening bugs in a jar, but in most cases it’s nice to know that the ”collected” find their freedom or rather have their revenge. Overall, this series isn’t trying to say that girls are insensitive or that all living things should never be caged. Instead, it is just a whimsical series…sometimes displaying the simple joy of ownership and other times the possible risks and ramifications of keeping things too close. I may have just thought about it too much, but I believe that is the heart of these pieces, from MY view. Though, these prints are often ambiguous. Not knowing the artist’s thoughts…it’s possible to view the subjects as trying to be helpful. It’s never really clear and completely up to the viewer to decide…and i like that.

Therefore…here is the newest in the series that I will be printing in October. Titled Fox Trap, it will be 5 colors and printed 18″x25″ …being the largest print in the group thus far.
