Trying my best.
I've mostly posted linocut but I also enjoy woodworking! This one's the best thing I ever made on a lathe: walnut and maple vase, ~18" tall, modeled after an Alhambra-style ceramic one I saw at the Pergamonmuseum in Berlin.

Some tags for the tags gods: #woodworking, #woodturning, #lathe, #turning

Show me how you draw / paint women 🩵

(OK, these are linocut prints, including my very first one ever)

I've (*very* intermittently) worked on a series of "Kaiju in Austin" prints for a few years now. I think I have two more in me but this is an older one: The Kraken (1981 Harryhausen version) emerging from Town Lake. And no, it's not deep enough for that 🙃

I don't remember quite how it came up be but during the lockdown my wife and I had a running joke about a hard-boiled Orlando cop called "Tough Shitty" McGritty. Eventually I had to mock up the movie poster and there was only one man who could possibly be the star.

QRP with someone (something?) watery.

Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the incredible and underappreciated godmother of rock n roll.

This is a #linocut print with faux gold gilding. I think I printed it before switching to a ballbearing baren -- if you haven't tried using one, you're missing out.

Also, here's a #printmaking for good measure 🙃

"Janus," after the two-faced Roman god. The body is carved and dyed maple, sandwiching an LED strip. No clue why I made it!

And hello new folks -- thank you for following my silly account! I make linocut prints but #woodworking is another interest of mine, so you might see more of this too.

A #linocut print from a year ago: my response to a prompt on a small-but-delightful Discord asking for artwork of monsters in ads. I went for a mid-century magazine look, so it had to be for Morley cigarettes and feature an Eames lounge.

And just to be clear: smoking kills. Don't do it.

A reduction cut where I went waaay too heavy with the ink on the last layer. They've been stuck to the wall for nine months and still feel tacky 🫠

A linocut print titled "A Perfectly Understandable Reaction of the 500-foot Woman". Seemingly/sadly evergreen. Part of a "kaiju in Austin" series that I'll surely complete any day now. #printmaking #linocut
