Bows and Arrows Calendar Show

I'm really excited to be participating in the Bows and Arrows calendar project this year. They will be selling calendars featuring a different Sacramento artist's work each month. I'll be in great company for sure. I'm planning on snagging a few of these myself to use as holiday gifts.

This Friday (12.4.12) is the opening show for this project. All of the original works from the calendar will be on display and for sale in the Bows and Arrows gallery space. This will be a great show with a wide variety of quality work. More info on the event can be found here.

Here are some process pictures of the piece that I'll have in the show.

Black lines screen printed, one coat of watercolor down. 

You can sort of see the block out fluid I used for the stars up at the top.

Some more paint is down. Trying to build up the richness of the color

and add depth with some shading.

Here I am cutting out the finished painting.

After this I mounted it on a wooden panel.

All right! If you want to see the finished work you'll have to come see it in person...or buy a calendar!

Salt Point 6 shirt

This is the shirt design for the 2012 excursion to Salt Point. This one was a collaborative effort between Jon Bafus and myself. The pink worms wriggling out of the pelican's pouch are his creations.

The Mighty Crustacean

screen print and water color on paper / edition of 4
 

Here is another print that I made for my bathroom art show at Bows and Arrows this month. Like most of the others, this is a one color screen print, colored by hand with watercolor paints.

This drawing has been around for a while, but this is its first appearance on a physical format (besides the original anyway). I did a digitally colored version a while back, but I really like this new one a lot more. The uneven watercolor texture has a nice contrast with the sharp, screen printed lines. 

This one has an edition of four, each with a different color palette. They'll be hanging up at Bows until June 6.

 

The Intertidal Scavenger

screen print and watercolor on paper, mounted on wood panel / edition of 2

Here are two more pieces from my bathroom art show at Bows. These are one color screen prints, hand colored with watercolor paints. The images were cut out, and mounted to wood panels with Mod Podge. There are only two of these guys. They were sort of done as an experiment, and I am quite happy with how they came out. I really like the contrast between the wood surface and the print. Also, the Mod Podge adds a thick, glossy texture that enhances the look of the prints, and makes the colors a seem more vibrant. I'm definitely going to be mounting more of my prints this way in the future. Anyway, go check these out while you still have the chance, the show comes down at the beginning of June.
