A little late, but-

My bud Nick Francel and I got our picture in Eleven Magazine from way back when we had a booth at the Cherokee Holiday Print Sale last year. Here's the LINK. It's pretty stupid.

Also stupid, TUMBLR. I know because I have one now.

I got an extension on the big block, too. So that's cool.

Swag! 

Back in the saddle.

Givin y'all a quick update on my progress with this big block. Theres a lot more to carve, then print. I really hope I can finish this beast by the due date. Ugh.

Wish me luck. 

It never ends.

Alright, I've been working really hard on this block and I'm still nowhere near done. Bitch, bitch, bitch- whatever. Also, I'm a little ashamed to admit that Printmaking Panda has gotten more attention than this site... by everyone... including me. 

Here are some pictursh. 

There is a bunch of other stuff going on, too.  Scientists are closing in on the Higgs Boson and starting to realize its very possible he has a friend. I haven't the slightest idea what that really means- but it's pretty cool. Or not. Like I said, I have no idea what it means... big words impress me.

Bwa, ha, ha!

       Alright, so I mentioned YESTERDAY that Nick Francel (Robotic Arms Press) and I have a new blog called Poor Printmaking Panda. You remember? Of course you do, it's incredible. Anyway, I found out today that the new blog was shared by someone on Printeresting.org and we've had over 1400 page views today....yeah, TODAY!

Here's a sample of the print-inspired hilarity.

This blog, which has very little to do with pandas, still has about 6 views a week.

This shizzle is officially off the hizzle. 

Sheesus!

Ok, ok, ok, I'm really dropping the ball on this whole "post-a-week" thing. Trust me though, I've been working on this. Also, there was some shop stuff I had to take care of. Also, my dog got into my room and peed on my pants and then I put them on without realizing there was pee on them and I got dog pee on my leg. That ruined an entire day, right there. Plus, I've been sick- like, really sick. I almost died...

...Not really.

Anyway, I'm showing you dudes and dudettes a couple close-up shots of the new block. Peep it.

I started carvin' some today because this thing needs to get done pronto. Peep again!

(It's blurry. Whatev.)

Oh! The Cherokee Print League is having another HOLIDAY PRINT SALE this weekend and I'm going to be there, sellin' some AWESOME stuff for AWESOME cheap. You should come by and pick up some great gifts for people who like crap.

And if you can't make it, there is always my Etsy page... Just sayin'.

Also, my buddy Nick and I started a sweet blog while pulling a new edition for some bozo... You probably know him.

Soooo, the new site is www.printmakingpanda.blogspot.com. Theres a good chance you'll get a lol.

I'm back.

It's time to start on this monster block for my enormous print exchange. Remember, when I say enormous I mean it. I'm basing my composition on The Martyrdom of St. Peter by Leonello Spada- but with a little added weirdness and some animals. This baby is 3' x 5' and it's by far the most complicated image I've attempted. 

There isn't much time for screw-ups, either. 

An edition of 10 is due by February 1st. 

I'll keep you posted on my progress. My slow, painful process.

Keep your fingers crossed. 

Happy Halloween!

Alright, it's Halloween. The night when kids dress as devilish monsters and ghouls and drudge up and down neighborhood streets, banging on the door to every house in pursuit of treats which their parents will painstakingly sort through, searching for hidden razorblades and brightly wrapped poison. 

It's an awesome time and I absolutely adore it- but enough of that... 

I just finished a couple quick editions for Prints Gone Wild in NYC! 

#1 Cyclops Pizza!  

#2 "In Ryleh, dead Cthulhu waits, mowing." 

Up next: PRINTS GONE WILD!
