I was in NYC over the weekend checking out some of the galleries on West 24th and 25th St. with my Bro-in-law and fellow artist Perry Yung, we started talking about woodcut printing, and I decided to try it out when I got back to the studio, here are a few (Flickr) including mixed-media.
My good friend Paul Pedro local Little Compton, RI surfer/ shaper who has been making boards for years just finished up this Mini Simmons style small wave board, here it is in the shaping room ready for glassing, I’m going to be working up the logos for this deck, can’t wait to try it out on a small glassy day!
Finished up this painting last night, it’s encaustic and mixed media on re-claimed baltic maple wood panel. I used imagery of an old Rhode Island map and a photo I took this Winter of one of my favorite “secret” surf spots up here in RI. I’ve been planning on working more maps into my layouts and this seems to go well with this painting,map image is layered into the upper panel. Encaustic is sometime challenging to photograph because of the transparent quality of the wax, people always tell me that my stuff looks way better person!
