I got some great prints from Prints Gone Wild 2014 last night! I picked up work from The Amazing Hancock Brothers, Jenny Schmid, Shawn Star Wars, and a killer series of prints from Martin Mazorra. Prints Gone WIld is an annual one night only print fair hosted by Cannonball Press.

This past week I was invited to jury the 29th annual No Big Heads self portrait show at the University of Anchorage. I had an amazing time! These are some prints I made to demo linocut and printing by hand with Prof Mike Conti's Printmaking class. We also cranked out some prints on their etching press. Ran into the off hours printshop manager, Inspector "Dirty" Harry Callahan while I was there.
