I haven’t printed this block since 2008, but revisited it yesterday as the confusion of intersecting lines was a precursor to my recent Chaparral series.
I’m really interested in failure these days.
Next Saturday, I’ll be in Newport with artwork at the third annual Live Local Festival. Come check it out!
This illustration was done in collaboration with poet Eliot Hudson.
The Myth of Sisyphus, by Albert Camus, is a philosophical essay from 1942 about man’s futile search for meaning in an absurd world. The Nobel Prize winning existentialist is one of my favorite writers, and I recommend reading The Stranger as well, which I’ve also illustrated.
Last week I took my Illustration class to Framingham State University’s excellent art museum. We covered art criticism by drawing and writing about selected pieces. The museum has a small but powerful collection of work, including a current exhibit by Lois Tarlow.
I’m not much of a Car Guy, but this was a fun little demo to carve during the printmaking workshop on Saturday. It’s a deep red Mercedes from the 80’s, also known as Molly Ringwald.
