Back to the ART

Alright, I feel that I have taken long enough break from posting recent art work on this here blog of mine.

Now, I have been working on several projects all at once... which you could say is my normal means of working. I am quite excited about what is coming about with some experimental pieces I have been putting together. Granted, this is nothing ground breaking or new... (it is to me though!) but I really feel like it has been a good growth indicator for my current body of work.

Woodcuts: I am consistently working on different blocks all at once, some in the drawing stages, some in the cutting stage and others still finished and waiting to be printed. I haven't had the chance to photograph all of the pieces that I have been working on, but here are a couple new ones;

Untitled
Woodcut
11"x15"
2008

Splitting Skulls
Woodcut
5.5"x12.5"
2008

In addition to these, I have several other wood cuts I am in the process of completing. On any given day, I usually have between 3-5 pieces i am working on. The Splitting Skulls I actually started working on over 6 months ago and just recently became enthusiastic about.


That is all I have for now but will be posting more recent work very soon. I am tremendously excited about the series I am currently working on and hope everyone else will be too!

Until next time,

Azzano

Printmakers Group Show

This just in!
Here are all of the specifics that I may have missed in the past. Plus, a really cool post card for you to take a look at. Hope to see you all at the opening this coming Thursday, May 1st, 2008

Printmakers Showcase

This coming month, a whole heap of printmakers... along with myself (I was fortunate enough to be included!) have a show at SomeSpace Gallery, here in Seattle. I know I have already mentioned it (just scroll down to the previous post for all the info) but I wanted to pass along SomeSpaces' link to the showcase page. You can see samples of all the artists work (all quite brilliant if I do say so myself!) and get a feel for what you will expect at the opening this coming May 1st.

Enjoy everyone, and don't forget your pocket book! Art makes a wonderful gift for that "special" someone... and at the same time you are supporting your local art scene!

Thanks.
