I just released my latest print over at
Unseen Beauty. This is a limited hand printed run of 14. I did a three color Gocco print this time but I also added a little handing painting to each print. The painting was to add the "who knows how it will look" aspect to each print. One of the main things I like about do prints is the organic feel to each one. I chose not to register any of the colors that I printed to give it that truly organic and unique look to each print.
The idea for the print came to me as I was wasting away in in front of my rather large TV one day. I caught myself wasting a whole day just sitting there in a daze. I looked at what I had done for the day and I had nothing to show. I quickly turned off the TV and started to draw. After this I thought about this subject a little more, the whole "Big Screen TV" craze that is going on right now. I am to blame for this also, but what I thought about more was how people are spending there whole life in front of these things. Kids don't go out and play anymore. My street has gone dead now a days when back in the day there was always someone outside doing something. Now I am not trying to rant and rave over here about how TV's are destroying our life and minds... I am just making an observation that I too was getting stuck in front of the TV and not even realizing the time I was wasting. The images on the prints are two TVs and two brains. The large brain is over the smaller TV, the small brain is over the large TV... I think you can understand the title of the print now, Modern Evolution. So that is that, this is my little reminder to myself to not get stuff for hours in front of my television and to not let life just pass by. Hope you all enjoy.

If you plan on sitting down in front of your boob tube here is a little recommendation from me to you. I just picked up the Beautiful Losers DVD. It is truly inspiring and it has been on repeat for the past 24 hours.
