Blocks

Here are some very hazy looking photos from a recent joint show that Marci Deschamps and I had at Octopus Ink in Anchorage. These were taken with my iPhone camera, which explains the low quality but not the haze look.
The show was/is called "Blocks". Marci did encaustic paintings, and I showed my woodcut and linocut "block" prints.


"Green Power", my newest linocut print made its "debut" (if a print can have a debut) at the opening on First Friday. This idea of plants growing out of a power outlet has been in my head a good 8 or 9 years so it feels really good to finally have it come to life. It's strange how almost every idea I come up with can somehow be tied to the theme of where things come from. This was my first time using white ink, and I LOVE it. The effect is exactly what I was hoping for.
