Not Funny Shawn

Posted on

Tonight we are at Azimuth Theatre for a performance of Wallace Shawn’s Fever. Wallace, of Vezzini fame (The Princess Bride) wrote this one man play in 1990 intended for performances in small apartments. Since Azimuth is smaller than an average apartment it’s appropriate.

Unfortunately for me it’s not supposed to be funny. Serious social shit and all…

My cellphone sees… Screen Printing

Leslie gave me a starter screen printing kit, so I have no excuse not to print hundreds and hundreds of my unique pieces for all my readers. Heh. And now the learning curve…

Oops. Busy bunnies…

First pull. Used a stencil I cut out by hand. Not so bad for such an easy method…

Screen bunny Part 1 #todaysbunny

My cellphone sees...
This bunny will be my first attempt at photo emulsion print.

This original is based on a pencil sketch that I traced lightly on tracing paper. Then I inked it on the tracing paper and then inked the reverse to get a solid black.

Screen bunny part 2!

The exposed image…

I exposed it using the tracing paper placed over top of a screen that was prepared with Diazo photo emulsion. I placed the tracing paper directly on the screen, covering it with a sheet of clear acrylic and then placed it under (12 inches under) a 250 watt BBA No. 1 Photoflood bulb with a pie tin reflector for 10 minutes.

Old Art

My mom dropped off a bunch of the genealogies she had worked and it turns out they are more family archives than anything. One binder contained a calendar I made for my mom in ’92 with a bunch of drawings I had done. Some of them were old themes I had played with over and over but there was a simplicity in those versions that I loved.
