St. Joseph's Park

I've been meaning to draw the remains of St. Joseph's for a while now. It is one of the more beautiful Rochester landmarks. I've got a bunch more Rochester sketches coming down the pipeline, and hopefully I will share them soon.

Monroe Theatre

After doing the edition of 25 in Fredonia, I've been wanting to play with the process of printing on the paperbags and painting them in to be able to make multiples more easily. Ultimately I am going to try and put together a handmade book using the same method... so I'm getting a little more comforatble with it as well and making sure I can use my printer for this too...

71 Central Avenue, Fredonia NY 14063

These are a few prints/drawings from an edition of pieces I just made for an art exchange I have the pleasure of being part of as a teacher at NYSSSA SVA. The program is located in Fredonia, NY and while the town may not have the usual amenities of most cities, has a lot of interesting homes and architecture to offer.

This is my edition of 25 of a beautiful house here in town. My printmaking process was pretty ghetto since I've become quite impatient in my old age (coughjustturned30cough). First I drew the house in my moleskine...

I then scanned it in and printed one off from the computer. I fed it into a copy machine onto some 8 1/2" X 11" pieces of paperbags to make my multiples, painting in the highlights with brush and gesso afterwards.

I'm pretty happy with them!

Peachey Road

I'd been curious to do a quick sketch or two based on Google Street View ever since seeing Bill Guffey's Virtual Paintout website. What better occasion to draw than Cindy's birthday. Above is her former (childhood) house... unless I got the address wrong...

2000 S Street NW

2000 S Street, the house to be used for Real World season 23. Which will likely be filled with some young, horny, politically polar opposites for a few months. Sadly I am leaving town myself this week and won't be able to witness/stalk the house.. well, until August maybe...

At Least Buy Me Dinner First...

So far this is my favorite comment that I've recieved at Artomatic...

Check out Erin Antognoli's great Holga photographs on Flickr. She's been taking portraits of Artomatic artists (among others I'm sure) and even made a great pic of yours truly.
