Artist Tim Clifford is now in residence. We have been working on Tim's first lithographs. While we are still in the experimental stage, Tim has adjusted to the medium well and is quickly learning that sometimes lithography happens. It could happen to you.
-6/17/2017
Thanks to the assistance of Nomi Silverman, Gladys and I were able to get the plates to an acceptable state. There are now signed B.A.T. prints at the CCP and we have agreed on paper and now all I have to do is put ink on paper. Working with Gladys was a privilege and a pleasure and I look forward to seeing her works in the future.
-6/7/2017
I have returned to the North-Eastern portion of the country. Currently I am waiting for furniture and other possessions to arrive via truck.

of copper to finish and print and a few stones as well. Not to mention rabbits to hide...
-3/5/2016
The Oso Bay Biennial is fast approaching, I have piles on piles of works in progress, and various other
complicated goings-on. I am also continuing to hide small, soda-fired porcelain rabbits with disheartening
scrolls in their mouths. You may view the process via Instagram, the name being jackoptimus

First day teaching Intro. to Intaglio. Went well, until TAMUCC's power went out in the middle of looking at prints.
Didn't matter though. I demoed plate-prep, drypoint, and proofing in the dark. Because analog is awesome.
