Payne Prints

I just coated two new screens for a t-shirt run for Sacred Arrow.  I just love their design work and their company message.

While updating the garden fence I had a revelation of new work. 

This to this…

Now that is a process.  Stay tuned for the finished work.

As I have continued to work on the piece it has become more about the process of constructing my concept.  As I tell my students all the time.  It is ok to veer off the main sketch concept.  Just keep pushing.

Starting a little late but ready to forge ahead.  I am going to experiment with geometric shapes as I get back into the swing of things.

After an hour or so, the base is coming together.  I am feeling like an artist again.  

As my mind drifts away from studio work I notice a God’s art.  My apple tree blossoms in September.  I do love Texas weather.

Waking up early to work and totally distracted by this.

Starting my summer project of solar plate etchings.  Begining with multi colored prints.  That means multiple plates with strict registration.  Why not go all out difficult.  Each layer for each plate will be hand drawn and burned separately.

Getting ready for end of the school year and setting up the screen print studio.  Also prepping for CFB Learn More Achieve More conference.

 This worked out great and I have a few students that tested it when I was in Guam.  What a great way to test colors quickly and clean up quickly.
