Pterosaurs in the Sky!

These critter are pterosaurs swarming over a swirling ocean! The screenprints were for "Age of Reptiles", which opened at at Paradigm Gallery next Friday, February 25 at 2020 South Street, Philadelphia. Pterosaurs are one of the most diverse dinosaurs, ranging in small to gigantic sizes, fur, beaks, and pretty much everything since they migrated far and wide. Deciding to go with a more graphic approach, I used the pterosaurs silhouette to create a pattern design.

Experimenting with colors was a crucial part of the process, enjoy!

Just Sayin' Hi

Finally taking the opportunity to post some of my work. I just finished this piece within the last month. It is a little steampunk, a lot of exploration, and some dreams about flying machines. The finished work is a 27" x 27" repeat pattern. In a grid, it is a full 54" x 54" print.

I just put together a website during the weekend if you'd like to see more. Enjoy!

The Sketchbook Project

Hi folks! Saw a great opportunity that I think you might be interested in participating in:

The Sketchbook Tour

Thousands of sketchbooks will be exhibited at galleries and museums as they make their way on tour across the country.

After the tour, all sketchbooks will enter into the permanent collection of The Brooklyn Art Library, where they will be barcoded and available for the public to view.

Anyone - from anywhere in the world - can be a part of the project. To participate and have us send you a sketchbook that will go on tour, start by choosing a theme to the right.

Each artist is sent the same blank Moleskine sketchbook. We've only got two rules: first, the book must be used in some way - no sending us back an empty book or a completely different book! Second, the sketchbook must stay within its original dimensions (because we don't want to have to provide an extra suitcase just for your book while we're touring the country).

Each book will be given a barcode so we can easily catalog it into The Brooklyn Art Library system. Once we catalog it, artists will be able to track where on the tour their book is viewed and how many times someone pulled it from the shelf - we want to make sure you can stay connected with your sketchbook!

The availability of sketchbooks vary each day, so sign up quickly to reserve the one you want! You have the option to choose the kind of Moleskine and the color of the cover when you add the project to your cart over to the right.

It is $25 to participate in the project.

To sign up for a sketchbook and a theme, go the The Sketchbook Project's website.

I'm signed up for a "Jackets, blankets, and sheets" theme!
