I’m still working on art for this year. Last post, I was thinking about using paper as the stencil but that’s so two weeks ago! I’ve moved on. After much experimentation, I’ve developed a new method for making stencils. Well, the method is new to me. I’m sure all kinds of people have already done this. Anyway, I’ve been coating my transparencies with tempera paint, then removing the paint to reveal my design. I’ve also just been painting right on the transparency. The images

This is the time of year that I work on the art I’m going to use for the rest of the year. I’m feeling a bit blocked, or rather, I have a lot of ideas but am running into roadblocks with execution.

It’s always awesome to pick up a new store. I’m really excited to announce that you can now purchase The Heated’s dish towels at Collector Art Shop in Berkeley. If you have the chance, do drop by. They carry a ton of local artists and it’s just pretty. #art #bayarea #berkeley #collectorartshop

If you want to buy one, do it!: http://www.etsy.com/listing/205584616/flour-sack-dish-towel-bay-bri

I’ve seen some good stuff out there lately. Here’s what’s up in San Francisco. Geometric The luxury vehicle, the homeless encampment, the important question. Sure, why not? Psssst! Dream n vote. #art #missiondistrict #tags #mural #sf #graffiti #streetart #sanfrancisco

I’ve been working on developing a line of prints for months now and am so excited to show you what I’ve got. Click on the individual images for a larger view. All prints screen printed by hand in water-based ink on cardstock-weight, recycled chipboard and measure 8.5″ x 11″. They will arrive packaged individually in a biodegradable clear bag. That’s right, they make biodegradable clear bags. Who knew? #art #print #cardstock #85x11 #byhand #kraft #handprinted #diy
