July through November of 2018 I made a slew of small drawings in ink on paper using the two AxiDraw machines. From time to time as I work, I’ll edit and modify my program code so that the way I produce images changes. Most coders I’ve talked with are careful to archive each state of […]
Peregrine Bunny
For several months I’d been immersed in a large commission piece for a very large corporation. It was a big project and was required to sign an NDA / non-disclosure agreement. There was a lot of back and forth as a number of executives added their input, taste, requirements to the pot and that made […]
Linda
This drawing was made on a full sheet of Rives BFK Black paper, using white ink and the AxiDraw. The image area is 11 x 8 inches, more or less centered in the sheet. I like the big black space and how Linda’s head floats in there.

Two small woodcuts using a wedged registration jig
Many mokuhanga (Japanese technique woodcut) printers are using an L-shaped kento registration jig. This is so each block can be carved without registration kento and a corner pushed into the L-shaped jig during printing. One disadvantage of this method is that the block and jig can easily shift during handling and printing so registration is […]
Secret Garden (clover woodcut)
“Secret Garden” is a view of clover near my Kansas City home, shot with my iPhone while walking Daisy, our dog. I still have this unreasonable urge to print more and more intensely complex images, but these dozen blocks, though not huge, took an average of around 20 hours each to carve (the longest carving […]
