PRINTMAKERS SHOWCASE @ CAFE VERITE

The rotating Printmakers Showcase at Cafe Verite will consist of a dozen
Seattle printmakers. The entire spectrum of printmaking will be explored
through the techniques of etching, mezzotint, woodblock & linocuts,
monoprints, lithography, screenprints, and even cyanotypes. Some
work plays on a keen sense of wit and visual pun, others explore the urban
landscape, street art, nostalgia, mythology, society, abstraction, and even
paper bag masks.... curated by Brian Lane of Print Zero Studios.

The show will travel to each of the Café Verite locations, and we plan to
Rotate in a few new prints each month.

July – West Seattle Opening July 10th 6-9pm, up through end of July.
(corner of California & Alaska, across from Easy St. Records.)

August - Ballard

My Head is Spinning...

Alright, I feel like I am going in about a million different directions and I wanted to post at least one of the things that I have been working on.

Here is a little flier for the website that I put together. I used imagery taken from a vintage Monster magazine I got for my birthday (thanks Meg) and think that in its simplicity it looks nice. I have been trying to focus on building my Photoshop skills and this started out as a little exercise with Masks. What a cool program Photoshop is... my hat goes off to the jerks who created it. Boy would I be the toothless hillbilly in a room of those engineers and programmers!

Anyway, here it is;

Let me know what you think, please leave comments if the moment grabs you. If anyone would like a copy of this to display on their personal computers' desktop background or to post on your very own website please go ahead and email me!

Thanks all, I have also been doing a lot of paintings and working on prints so I will be posting those at some point, check back!!
