“London” pen and ink drawing completed this morning after 208 hours — 5.83 miles of ink line (just under 1/2 inch drawn per second) . I think I like it!

“Sara” 42×77 inch woodcut from 17 blocks
The large (42 x 77 inch) prints of “Sara” reclining on her messy bed have been successfully completed — I selected 8 for the edition plus two proofs. There is some variation among the edition, the greatest differences being in the depth of the deepest tones behind the head and in the top background — […]
“Jon” pen and ink drawing
“Jon” will be my final pen and ink drawing for a while, as I have now begun work on a third large-scale woodblock print of “Sara” reclining in bed — a bit larger than life-size from 17 blocks… More on that later — here’s the “Jon” drawing, 76 x 45 inches:
Lily Drawing Complete 54 x 23 inches
June 17, 2006 Today I am about a third of the way through another pen and ink drawing, this one of my god-daughter, Lily… Although Lily is usually smiling and showing off, I liked her ambiguous expression in this image… Yesterday noon, Lily and her Mom, Sarah, showed up at the studio with a half-hour […]
Ethan and Arianna pen and ink drawing
Yesterday (June 13, 2006) I completed a smaller drawing of two children, Ethan and Arianna. Pen and ink, but a denser line pattern — about 140 hours to complete on 45 x 31 inch Arches 300 lb. hot press watercolor paper. Here is a shot of the drawing plus some details — click the photos […]
Framed prints and drawings arrived today…
What a wonderful surprise when John O’Brien called from Dolphin Frames to let me know that the framing of five of my new (large) works were done — Justin and Greg came by a short while later to deliver the things and here they are all wrapped up in their milky protective plastic wrapping and […]

Another life-size pen and ink drawing (extra fine point rolling ball pen) — this one of Shannon and Danielle partially robed, about 90 inches by 45 inches on Arches 300lb hot press watercolor paper…
Elizabeth and Rod pen & ink 88.5 x 43.5 inches
I completed another large machine drawing a couple of days ago (and a third was completed a few minutes ago — photo to come later). This is a life-size pen and ink drawing “Elizabeth and Rod” which is 88 1/2 x 43 1/2 inches.
“Sarah” pen and ink drawing 7 x 3.75 feet Complete
The first two papers I tried for this life-size figure drawing weren’t strong enough and they were torn to shreds relatively early in the process. I finally had success (after almost a month of experimenting) with Arches 300 lb. hot press watercolor paper — it is VERY strong and held up beautifully! The squiggly lines […]
