Color pencil drawing of a Maple Leaf

As I wandered around this fall I started paying close attention to the leaves falling from the trees. Like a snowflake they are all different in the way the color changes. "Maple Leaf #1", colored pencil, 11"x8", 2008-11-03

Miniprint, Siamese Cat

What is a Miniprint? It is any print smaller than an ATC (art trading card) or ACEO (art card, editions, and orignals).

The series I am working on is specific to the width of a standard 1x2 peice of lumber, which is 1 1/2" wide. I have lots of scrap wood this size and I cut a bunch into lengths 2 1/2" long which gives the print size of 1-1/2"x 2-1/2". I chose this size so it could fit into a standard cigarette box sized container and be put into an Art Vending Machine (covnerted cig machine). The print comes in it's own custom designed box.

biohazard

I have started a series of little prints of standard symbols. Here is the first.

On this drawing I added the radiation warning symbol after I drew the tree. I was not really happy with the result but after I toned it down some I decided it would be OK.

Political prints

While not partisan these are political in a sense. The idea is all voters should be informed on the candidates and issues.

Again theme and variation is the rule and all were run in small editions. The yellow in #3 is brighter because I force dried the other editions in the oven at 195 degree. Speedball ink in the reds and yellows color shifts/darkens when heat is applied.

e=mc2

This little print was fun to make. First I carved the mirror image formula and the radiation warning symbol. Then I print the formula in black and forced dryed it with my heat gun. Then I printed the red radiation symbol and also force dryed that. Then final step was to over print in green with the formula block but apply no pressure so the inking was very uneven.

"Red Treetop"

This drawing is done on 9x12 paper in color pencil. I am not sure I like the medium.
