Across Main Street from our apartment was a tienda Mexicana that I went to frequently, and on the corner was an old clockshop where they sold and repaired clocks and watches. For a perspective assignment in Drawing II at A-B Tech, I decided to draw a series of images of this block. The perspective in this drawing emphasizes the clockshop. The paper is a cornflower paper, which has blue petals embedded.

I found the figure in a magazine and really liked the sense of contemplation and reverie and wanted to see if that would still be present if he was reduced to a silhouette. The green ink was added next to give him a surface to walk on as well as make some small reference to the old Mille Borne playing cards.

I first ran the paper through the press with a tree fungus covered in red ink, which actually embossed the paper. The other inks were added in subsequent layers using plexiglass plates.

A red, blue, and yellow ink monoprint, Bobby Boogie is one of my first prints from Printmaking I. The red was applied using a technique I developed at about 15 years old of pulling an inked string through two pieces of paper pressed together.

We had an assignment for three works of art of the same subject, each in the style of a different artist that we admired. Canton Papermill I was my first attempt working a la Turner. I think this was the least successful of the three, but not necessarily bad considering the time frame. At the time, I really preferred working on the floor, so I had all three of these paintings spread out on the floor and generally worked on them simultaneously. Since then, I forced myself to use an easel and that has been my preference for most work.
