Tiled Floor of vertical grain oak and padauk

July 25, 1998 By Mike Lyon

While building the dojo floor for the KC Shotokan Karate Club, we decided to leave an area for visitors and observers. We built benches along the windows, and I designed, built and laid this beautiful wood tile floor. First I measured the area, then designed the tile size (tiles had to be less than 4.5″ square so […]

Portrait of Jerry Vegder woodcut over archival inkjet

December 6, 1997 By Mike Lyon

My great friend, Jerry Vegder, HATES to have his picture taken!  HATES it!  But several times, he’s made the mistake of allowing me to photograph his very interesting head!  This may be the ONLY portrait of Jerry which he finds tolerable, since the tiled woodcut completely obliterates his image!

Burning Leaf Smell woodcut

December 1, 1997 By Mike Lyon

Printed in December, 1997, this small edition of tiled woodcuts was produced for Christmas gifts that year.  The muddy colors and swirly patterns remind me of the smell of leaves burning in our gutter each fall, a practice now long abandoned (and illegal).  These were printed from a set of one-inch birch plywood tiles with […]

hand stamped tiled woodcuts

November 24, 1997 By Mike Lyon

Over Thanksgiving we flew to Port Townsend, WA for a family get-together with my sister-in-law, Barbara Stanny.  I took along a tiny watercolor set and a couple of stamps I’d carved — a quarter circle and a half-circle.  I entertained myself on the plane ride by printing some tilings (one sqare at at time) on […]

Red Lion

June 5, 1997 By Mike Lyon

“Red Lion”, image size about 22 x 16 inches was printed in 1997 on handmade Gampi paper. The design of 88 square tiles was determined in advance, and the colors printed using a wide format inkjet printer using archival inks. The black sumi ink was subsequently overprinted using plywood tiles with a 180 degree arc cut out..
