New book in progress + Spring conventions

Some exciting news, I will be exhibiting at Stumptown and TCAF this year! I've been extremely busy trying to push out my newest silkscreen book, titled "Hot + Cold" and hopefully I'll have some copies ready for both conventions.

Here are some progress photos of the drawing separation for my book. This is the biggest that I'll be printing, so I'm really nervous! I'm basically printing the entire book on each single uncut piece of Rives BFK, double sided, which I will cut up with a Guillotine and put together as a book afterwards. It will be 5 color processes, approx. 4.3"x6" and 24 pages (half accordion).
I'm hoping to get all the separations done in 2-2.5 weeks, and all the printing and book-binding done by beginning of April.

Still working on the top accordion. So far I have the color separations done for 1/3 of the book.

Thanks to my roommate Wade for the photos!

where i've been

hello!
i know i haven't posted in a while,
i recently moved to a new apartment in Williamsburg and I'm loving it.
Still trying to get myself adjusted/settled and trying to tackle deadlines.
I'm shipping out new work tomorrow to Lab101 in LA for a 3 person show, and I am extremely excited.
It opens July 13th, I will post the flyer later.
I'll update my site with the new pieces the week of the opening.
Here's a sneak peek in the meantime:

"Falling Stars"

"Hope You're Swell II"

"Onward, Upward"

Lately I've gotten into music by the band Metric. There's one song I find myself listening to over and over again. called "Hustle Rose" Emily Haines (the band's lead) has a talent for words.
I've also started reading "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter" by Carson McCullers.
Ever since my move my train commute is much shorter now, which is the time I use to rely on to get some reading done. I will try to put a little time aside to read.
