In 2013 I began making etchings again, and posted some of my first work on this blog. You may recall the little guy with a sword. He grew up into this character. He may appear again in a different form. In the meantime he has become a kind of doorman.
"The Exit" 6" x 8" etching, monoprint
This character started out as a laughing plaster angel. He appeared in a painting some time ago. Since then he has become interested in geometry. He has both a comical and a serious side. He too may appear again.
"Rational" 4" x 6" etching, limited edition of 15
Here we are in Paradise, with intimations of things to come. Were we ever meant to be so peaceful and relaxed, not to say lazy?
"Before the Fall" 5.5" x 5", etching, limited edition in progress.
Now we learn to fall, possibly having been too prideful. Personally, I prefer this version of the Fall of Man over the one where Eve gets all the blame.
"The Fall" 6" x 5", etching, limited edition in progress
All but "The Exit" were printed on my new (used) press. Having a press is an inspiration, there will be more etchings.
You can see all of these right now at my solo show, available through July, at Torchon Bistro, 1921 W Dimond Blvd, Anchorage, AK.
