A second attempt at drawing using CNC machine – I can see that holding the pen rigidly is problematic as very slight out of flatness causes the pen to push too hard or not hard enough (darker at top, lighter at bottom). In this one, I used raster approach and rotated the rasters in each […]
“Jessica” 22 x 10 inches – a first machine drawing
After mounting a rolling ball ink pen inside PVC tubing about the same diameter as my router, I was able to produce this drawing of Jessica by layering up the tool paths as if I were using the router to clear away wood from carving a block.
Gift prints for Japan visit
Three small prints from a single block set. After printing, each was cut out and folded into a fancy tissue, then enclosed in a gift envelope. When we visited Japan, I presented these as small gifts to everyone who was kind to us — the reactions were usually a bit hilarious — I’m not too […]
Lily and Sarah (spring becomes summer)
“Lily & Sarah (Spring Becomes Summer)”, August 17, 2004, 9 x 8 inches, woodblock print from 32 cherry plywood blocks, dry pigments in rice flour paste on Iwano Ichibei hosho, 48 sheets printed — another failed attempt to realize ‘full color’ in a woodcut.
Danielle
“Danielle”, August 9, 2004, 22 x 8 inches, woodblock print from 16 cherry plywood blocks, dry pigment and charcoal in paste of rice starch on Iwano Ichibei hosho, 16 sheets printed.
Rod
“Rod”, August 5, 2004, 30 x 21 inches, woodblock print from 16 cherry plywood blocks, dry pigment and neri-zumi in paste of rice starch on Iwano Ichibei hosho, 12 sheets printed, permanent collection of China Art Museum, Shanghai, PRC.
Jessica on dark drapery
“Jessica on dark drapery”, July 1, 2004, 10 x 15 inches, woodblock print from 16 cherry plywood blocks, dry pigment and neri-zumi in paste of rice starch on Iwano Ichibei hosho, 16 sheets printed.
Shannon and Danielle seated
“Shannon and Danielle seated”, June 30, 2004, 15 x 10 inches, woodblock print from 24 cherry plywood blocks, dry pigment and neri-zumi in paste of rice starch on Iwano Ichibei hosho, 24 sheets printed. I love this frank image of the two girls seated on the box in my studio!
Sarah (pink robe)
“Sarah (pink robe)”, June 29, 2004, 7 x 22 inches, woodblock print from 16 cherry plywood blocks, dry pigment and neri-zumi in paste of rice starch on Iwano Ichibei hosho, 24 sheets printed. Among my most ‘romantic’ images, this one of Sarah reclining in her pink terry-cloth robe knocks me out! Another experiment in limiting […]
Elizabeth and Rod
Rod, my friend of 20 years and his girlfriend of two weeks, Elizabeth, came down in early June and allowed me to photograph them them… A LOT of interesting images came from that afternoon, including this one which I loved for its quiet contrast between her light and somewhat inflated figure in motion and his […]
