"The Master"


This is the third piece I created using the "ink rub" method I've been experimenting with. After pulling the image, I then collaged paper to create the overall color effect. Measures roughly 6" x 8".

"G.O.A.T."


This is a piece that I created almost accidentally, while experimenting with ink-rubbing images from the computer printer. I overworked the print with pencil and conte crayon and mounted it onto collaged paper. Hopefully, this will launch a series of more experimental type prints.

"G.O.A.T. (Part II.)"


This is the second piece using the same image of Ali. I've begun experimenting with ink rubbing and collage, trying to develop some effective imagery. This one is 5" x 7".

"The Offer He Couldn't Refuse"


Just a small (8"x 10") linocut print I pulled in the studio the other day. Black ink printed over collaged construction paper.

"Listen, Learn" -2005


This is the first piece in one of many new series of work. This series utilizes layers of applied colored latex paint over plywood. When each layer dries, a new color is applied over it. Once all the colors have been applied and the last coat is dried, I then take to the surface with a power sander (usually 60 grit) and allow the colors to combine as they surface up from the bottom. The image is then painted over the surface in acrylic, as a simple contour. This piece is titled "Listen, Learn" and measures 36" x 44".

"Skillz" -2005


This is the second piece in the series, entitled "Skillz" and uses the same techniques as the the first piece. It also measures the same, 36" x 44"
