"FAMILY PORTRAIT"

I'm presently working on a fictional "Family Portrait" collaboration with fellow MailArtist comrades, Jennifer Kosharek of Eve-N-Odd Gallery fame and DEWI Johan of MOOP (Museum of Ornamental Posts fame.


The family starts out with a triptych of Mother, Daughter and Son-in-law. Each of the 3 of us are starting out with one of the initial family members and then sending the image on to the next person until all 3 of us have left out mark on the subjects of the triptych.

This is my initial contribution of the Son-in-law.


This is Jennifer Kosharek's contribution of the Daughter (Married to my Son-in-law).


And from the Daughter and Son-in-law comes the rest of the family. Each of the 3 of us get one of the couples offspring, 2 girls and one boy, to further create a "family".

I have the eldest daughter to begin my family. This is her as a young teenager.

"STUFFED BUNNY SHOW" Mention on MOBIUS

Some P.R. for the "Stuffed Bunny Show" at EVE-N-ODD Gallery.

NEW ARTWORK AVAILABLE AT eve-N-odd GALLERY

Jennifer Kosharek, owner/curator of eve-N-odd Gallery in St. Petersburg, Florida has a new show opening up on April 9th. The theme: THE STUFFED BUNNY SHOW.

I've been wanting to try something a little different with my linocuts, so the challenge to make a stuffed bunny with a linocut image as both the front and back was a welcome challenge. I ended up with an edition of 12 printed, sewn and stuffed BERUBE BUNNIES. Each comes with a hand-printed signed linocut tag with the edition number. Not wanting the bunnies to escape, I also created a small coat hanger wire basket to keep them safe until they find their new homes. Please contact the Gallery for purchases. The bunnies are only $20/ea and there's a limited quantity. Get them while they're still available.







Also available for purchase is a small edition of the BERUBE BUNNIES linocut on 100% acid free paper. $30/each



As part of a collaborative effort with eve-N-odd Gallery, I also created and printed up a Berube-Bug celebrating the Gallery. A small edition of the print is also available while we print some t-shirts up to also have for sale in the Gallery. Print $30/each

EVE-N-ODD GALLERY

I wanted to do something fun to commemorate my friend Jennifer Kosharek's opening of EVE-N-ODD GALLERY in St. Petersburg, Florida in the Crislip Arcade.

Stay tuned, we're looking to have this printed up on t-shirts to sell at the Gallery.

"FINLANDIA" PORTFOLIO SUBMISSION

Early last summer I was asked by Ron Abram, Associate Professor of Drawing & Printmaking at Denison University, Granville, Ohio if I'd be interested in contributing to a printmakers portfolio addressing the subject matter of Equilibrium using Tom of Finland as the jumping off point. The portfolio will be exhibited as part of the SGC (Southern Graphics Council) International's conference being held on the campus of Washington University at the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts, March 16-19, 2011.

Needless to say, I was more than thrilled to be given the challenge of creating my response to one of my favorite Artist/Illustrators.

Here is the direction I chose.
