Million Dollar Question.

It's been a long week and there's still one more until spring break.......IN PRAGUE.....WITH THE HONORS PROGRAM. I have been waiting 3 years for this. Below are 2 new works, one is a silkscreen that I think I hate, and the other is an acrylic I did a couple nights ago. I like the acrylic one.

Good Morning, 8"x12", 3-color silkscreen, Edition of 10.


But Inside Doesn't Matter, 11"x14", acrylic on Arches 300lb hot press watercolor paper

It's Over.

This is a print I did last week. It's actually from a sketch I did at the beginning of last semester, which is cool cause I felt the sketch was still relevant months after its inception. This week I didn't do a print inspired by Chris Burden. I've been trying to figure out a good piece to pay homage to him, either combining a picture of him with his writing, or his writing with something else, or just him with different writing. I haven't figure it out yet and it's been more than a month. I will be putting out more Source Decay's in the library this Tuesday. I haven't been to the library since Wednesday, but they seem to go fairly fast, which makes me happy. I guess people like them.

The Impossibility of the Existence of Anything, 11"x16", 3-color silkscreen, edition of 10

I'm fuckin' famous.

Saturday morning...praise the dawning.

Here's another print I made yesterday in class. I'm becoming a very well oiled printing machine. Prepare transparencies during the week, shoot screens and print in class on Friday, scan print in huge scanner in the computer lab after class, post print on blog. Boom, for real. Look for Source Decay Issue #3 in the library on February 19th.

Self-Portrait as a Douche Bag, 11x17, 3-color screenprint



Next week's poster inspiration:

Kim and Thurston

I saw someone wearing the pentagram SVA shirt I designed earlier this year. It was awesome. She had blue hair. Also, the show I played tonight turned out really well. I had a lot of fun. Someone was taking pics and another person was videotaping, so when I find the documentation I will post it. Here's a portrait of Kim and Thurston of the Sonic Youth and some surfing installation ideas:

Society

I said I would do it and I did it. I made a silkscreen of a sketch I said I was gonna silkscreen. (See below)

Sketch:


Finish: I've Changed, 3 color silkscreen



Also, here are my 5 submissions for the student competition for the Society of Illustrators. Three from the summer, one is the silkscreen posted above, and one of them is a silkscreen I finished today,. I was trying to experiment with using texture by way of lithocrayon. It turned out ok. It also has a sweet Kerouac quote about the subterraneans. I don't think I'll win anything from the Society, but it would be nice considering how much school costs.

The Subterraneans (Times I Will Never Know), 6 color silkscreen


Surfing II, watercolor on paper


Growth, watercolor on paper


Smother, watercolor on paper

You're Pure Honey.

Source Decay Issue #3 has been printed and is in the process of being folded. Expect it in the library and the west side DaVinci in mid-February. I'm also playing an acoustic cover show at the 10th Street dorms this Thursday at 8pm. So if me singing acoustic versions of Bikini Kill, Sufjan Stevens, Lou Reed, Black Flag and more sounds good, then you should come cause there's gonna be free coffee too.



This is just a recent sketchbook page. Different kinds of words and thoughts while listening to NPR and drinking tea. I was thinking the honey one would make a good screenprint.
