I don't know about you, but I've spent this Memorial Day Weekend relaxing. It's been a nice change of pace when I consider how much I was doing simultaneously this time last year. I've been prioritizing self-care/preservation. Coincidentally, I saw this hanging in @wissahickonbrewingcompany yesterday after taking a pop-up class with @yogaforyall . I had forgotten they owned one! Please send any and all photos of work of mine you've purchased over the past couple years. There might just be something in it for you. 😉 (at Wissahickon Brewing Company) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx-U8XyD1Pw/?igshid=1fgy2magivo44

Today was my school district's arts festival. There was a lot of preparation involved leading up to it! Among the vast number of pieces, I'm really digging this animation I made of some students' collaborative monoprint project. I hope to do more like it next year! #goldenkeyprints #artteacher #studentwork #artsfestival (at Upper Darby, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxn3VLkgs-1/?igshid=17jxkc59fzs6u

In conjunction with what I'm currently teaching my students, this #throwbackthursday features various self-portraits of mine from the Fall semester of freshman year '06 at @tylerschoolofart . The first was a contour completed in Beech Hall during my first drawing class with Tom Vance. The second, a digital work, was made with my first introduction to Adobe Illustrator in a class taught by @samfritch . The last was my final in Tom's class, using a variety of materials, but mainly charcoal and ink (I was in a dark place at the time, and thought the best way to show this was making a literal dark picture 😂). It's a bit strange reflecting on who you were and who you are through portraiture, because you still look the same (plus or minus a few hairs). Mentally however, I am light years from who I was. 12.5 years will do that to you! #goldenkeyprints #scottholford #tylerschoolofart #tbt #foundations #tomvance #samfritch #philadelphia #selfportrait #blackandwhite (at Tyler School of Art (Elkins Park lawn)) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwIUnCZjdDq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=mb5djakilgol

I applied for membership to @inliquidart a few weeks ago... today, I heard back. I am excited for the future and looking forward to the opportunities they have to offer! . . #scottholford #goldenkeyprints #inliquidart #artistopportunities (at InLiquid) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvfirndD02m/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ic4igdqwstgq

🎭🎨Please excuse the sparsity of posts, but the past few weeks have been very busy preparing for our school's play! Normally I just oversee Set Design- the club that creates the sets and minor props. However, this year I also took on Stage Crew. Meaning I had to be physically present each day of the show, in addition to assembling some of the larger props. Luckily, I had a great team for both, which made the whole experience more fun than "work".🎨🎭 . . #goldenkeyprints #artteacher #middleschoolart #middleschoolplay #setdesign #stagecrew #afterschoolclubs #art #studentwork #teamworkmakesthedreamwork #🎨 #🎭 https://www.instagram.com/p/BvZD2AGDllX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=923pw2fq99z0

My wife and I went for a walk and brought home this lichen-infested log from a fallen tree. I hope to find a friend that can slice it down into manageable pieces so I can print with it! 😏 #goldenkeyprints #goldenkeyfinds #walk #nature #wood #lichen #log #fallentree #🌳 #tree #🌱 #branch #art #printmaking #printstagram #supplies (at West Mt.

Here is another work in progress from the upcoming series. All of my etchings are done without a preliminary drawing. So, although they each may have imperfections, I like to think it adds to their character. No matter how calculated, printmaking is an unpredictable medium! #goldenkeyprints #etching #wip #workinprogress #animals #animalart #goat #🐐 #🎨 #art #artwork #philadelphiaartist #linework #texture #blackandwhite #copper #shine #✨ #justprintmaking

Although my wife and I had a busy weekend with our friends in town, I managed to get a frame for @sam.justice_ 's photographs to be rotated! Ended up hanging it right next to my master's. 👌🏻 #goldenkeyprints #studentwork #samjustice #photography #framedwork #studentartist #lightexposure #69thst #upperdarby #philadelphia #phillygram

One of the coolest gifts I've received on this birthday week is a box of candy filled with photographs taken by one of my previous students, @sam.justice_ . She's a junior in high school now, but since I've known her, she's never had an issue with expressing herself. It's exciting to see things through the lens of someone I consider a great student and friend. Thanks Sam! #goldenkeyprints #photography #photos #photographer #birthdaygift #student #studentwork #art #arted #photographerforhire #ciracentre #exposure #franklinsquare #merrygoround #cityhall #69thstreet

Yesterday was my 29th birthday. I had a particularly rough day teaching, but a handful of my favorite students (yes, I have favorites) ambushed me at the end of the day with silly string and gifts. Here's a card one of my students made me. I'd say it depicts their sense of humor pretty well: kinda weird but light-hearted. 💝 #goldenkeyprints #🔑 #art #artteacher #happybirthday #birthday #birthdaycard #handmade #studentmade #weird #meme #cat #catinabox
