Linocut Project

I carved this image onto a linolium plate with carving knives. Once the image is carved, I roll ink over the entire plate and then send it through the press.

Here's the image printed on a sheet of paper. The classic tale of the lumberjack uppercutting a bear with a knife (the bear has a knife).

Last Monotype

This was actually the first print I did. I thought it turned out fairly chaotic, which is what I wanted! It's a little hard to tell at first, but the image is of a boat on rough seas.

More Monoprints

Panda! Kept it simple with a lot of negative space. I think it turned out fairly well.

Portrait I did freehand off of a picture on my phone. A little squished, but I like the strokes in his beard.

Monotype Project

Here's the original image of my brother Connor. I put the print out of this image under a plexi-glass plate, and than painted over it to create the image below.

Once the image is painted onto the plexi-glass sheet, I put a paper on top of it, and send it through the press. Note, these pictures make my bro seem way cooler than he actually is ;)

The Alphabet of Bears Volume 2!

 E is for Entertain
 F is for Flying
 G is for Grrrr...
H is for Help!

This book follows the exploits of an enslaved circus bear, his escape (with help of circus cannon) into a cave in the woods, and his final revenge on the evil ringleader and his strong-man! My first book used A, B, C, D, so I just continued the alphabet with this one. Hope you like it :)

"Visualize a Bible verse" project

"He (Elisha) went up from there to Bethel, and while he was going up on the way, some small boys came out of the city and jeered at him saying, "Go up you baldhead! Go up you baldhead!" And he turned around, and when he saw them, he cursed them in the name of the Lord. And two she-bears came out of the woods and tore forty-two of the boys."
2 Kings 2:23-25
