Copper-Etched Printing Blocks

Another project I’m working on jointly between Mindhue and my printing alter-ego Reflex Letterpress is a set of 72-pt International Phonetic Alphabet letters created in the Emigré typeface Mrs. Eaves. I still need to do some kerning — literally cutting the faces of the blocks closer to the letterforms — but they look pretty great

Shipping Containers in Copper

Been a while, unfortunately, but I’ve been busy with various things — teaching and kid, mostly. But I did get the artwork for my seven shipping container sets off to Owosso, and got the plates back on Friday. Here are some pics, including a paper proof I pulled to see how they look. They look

I’m getting paper and plates to do a set of new editons based on the traverses of the pair of Mars rovers Spirit and Opportunity.

JAWS Boston Key Party 2019

I’m also part of an Boston artist group show of drawings in which every participant gets a laser-engraved key with a number and then gets to take home the drawing with the corresponding number. I did one of my random walk process drawings, with a slightly different tweak on the coloration. Usually I do monochrome
