Very exciting! The book design is gorgeous (Caroline Beckett from Itchy Cat Press) and it features artwork from the One Chick Show all the way up to current work. I’ll have a preview copy (hard cover) at my May 7 MFA show (A Pattern of Processing).

…at the Overture Center for the Arts.
The show is up! Now on view through June 25th, 2011. Meet the artists at the reception Gallery Night, Friday, May 6, 6pm.
More info: Overture Center, Gallery 1
Hand- colored woodcut, printed on masa, then mounted on plywood cutout form and varnished. By the way, that's a Golden-Laced Wyandotte, cock. Maximus was one of my first roosters (bros with Big Tiny).
It’s a huge relief to be done with this and have it up on display. I mean it was fun to do, but printing by hand with a wooden spoon (my press is “only” 30in wide….the chicken block is a 4ft x 8ft plywood block) is not easy, especially with so much solid black. An exercise in patience most definitely.
