kissin' hands and shakin' babies

the most important piece of anyone's shameless self-promotion arsenal has to be the business card (american psycho anyone?)... being marginally infatuated with art and making stuff, i have made my own business cards in the past and have taken up the practice again.



 i took over the shop on an off day and made it my own personal print studio.

these are linocut prints, an edition of 784 on 3 colors of paper, sepia ink, yeah buddy....

orange....

green......

and some brown, too!
if anyone is interested i also have an edition of 10 uncut proof sheets on white, 140lb hot press watercolor paper, signed and numbered, of course. 20bux each or awesome trade.

by the way, heard you say you were skippin town...

time for some more linocut fun with my buddies Civil War Rust who are doin' a mini tour to Arizona and back. i decided to do a small run poster for them to sell for gas and beer. another linocut, but this time made as a reduction print or 'suicide print'. with a reduction print you use one block for all of your colors as opposed to using a block for every color. much harder, much messier, much much more rewarding, and a tiny bit faster.

here's the first pull....

isnt that neat?! i thought so too.
