Sculpture Garden, another altered intaglio print!

This one was done using gouache, it’s on BFK paper, but I didn’t size the paper (prep it to absorb the paint/let it adhere to the surface). Towards the end the paint started to chip off a bit because of this, as the layers build up the chalk/pigment in the medium had less to hang on to.

I made the plate by doing an engraving on a glass pane. This one really started to show me how much detail I can get with a line, those faces are so small.

from before we had electricity, I wonder if there are any burnt spots on canvases from artists who liked painting at night. like singed hems on dresses or skirts from writing while leaning against a fireplace

Clouded Cathedral, oil paint on gessoed masonite

This one was inspired by the cathedrals I got to see while on a study abroad trip to Germany.

Now that I think about it the sky from the plane was in my head too, so I think that’s where the perspective came from. Cool

i used a cardboard loom for all except the second from the left on the bottom. that one was made with a helloloom.

Altered Print! This is gold leaf and acrylic on BFK paper.

I sized it (prepped the paper so the paint won’t run or destroy it with time) with acrylic medium before painting

15 Generations After the Apocalypse, diorama.

I used a painting for the background and those lantern fellows were made with glycerin soaked leaves glued in transfer paper and sticks. also little electric tea lights.

15 Generations After the Apocalypse, acrylic on canvas, 2025.

post apocalyptic mushrooms, but the glow is unrelated

this is going to be the background for a diorama as a setting for some leaf houses the little creatures that came from the earth live in. they came up not after the meteors hit, but when their homes started to heat up from the rivers of lava that had cracked open underneath them.

it’s a little story

A little engraving done on a glass plate. BFK paper.

I’ve been enjoying putting fabric into my prints and paintings. I’m likely going to engrave a border around the edge of this plate too, manuscript style.
