Reduction Linocut·8"x8"·4"x4"

"I've had the idea of a disembodied head leaning against an arm, as a print, for quite a while. This is just another interpretation of that using the same Blender model as Righty, another skeletal print of mine, but with the skull included."

"Based on a cake that I made for my brother's birthday. It was a strawberry poke cake."

"A companion piece to "Bottle Caps", these are the bottles that I had in my recycling when I thought of doing this print. Think of it as a snapshot of what I was drinking around the time of this print."

"A collection of bottlecaps that I had inadvertently kept around on my desk. I accidentally started to carve away a section that was supposed to remain for the final layer, and had to quickly adapt the print to remaining piece of that section. Small lesson in paying closer attention, dealing with what has happened, and adapting the best I can to the circumstances."

"A recreation of a small isle of the coast of Kodiak, Alaska."

"This print came together as an accident. In the course of quantizing the image for better understanding of how it would look as a simplified relief cut, I accidentally translated the dark color of night into the CIELAB color space and ended up with the vibrant pink and teal colors seen in the finished linocut. I thoroughly enjoyed creating the flowing shapes and seeing the final product come together, even with the middle layers where I lost the vision of the final product."

"An 8-layer reduction of my favorite dog in my immediate family, my own dog, Nora. This is the final print in my series of dogs in the family, after completing Ducky for my brother, Cash for my other brother, and Whiskey, my parents dog. A defect in the linoleum led to white dots appearing in each of the prints, a defect that I learned to accept."
