George Grosz

Just checked out the artist the BPJ mentioned in class today, George Grosz. Here's a link: http://george-grosz.com/ I love his political prints and other works.

beginner works

These images were a few of the very first prints I made this semester...and in my life! Now I am becomming a printmaker addict and am at peace with my decision to continue with litho in the fall. Print On!

work thus far...

So, per Maggie's advice, I decided to post some of my work - the new and the older stuff. The first print is titled "The New War Zone" and was inspired by recent events of bullying on my children's school bus. I felt the need to voice my feelings and I think this avenue is a good start. The second print is titled " The New Terrorist" and shows a schoolboy carrying books that give lessons in hazing, bullying, name-calling, and prejudice. I have not decided on the third plate in the series, but will post that as soon as I have it done and printed. I will also repost these pics when I learn how to do that better. ;)

I've got a link!

Yeah, I'm finally officially linked to the Grown-up blog, so I suppose I should post! I was happy that I got a start on my series today with hopefully a promising idea. The prints mean so much more when I can design them around events that are important to me and mine. It's too bad that I had to take off early today and did not get the opportunity to get a start in the acid. I am eager to get this first one done and getting it printed. ;)
