Boredom

Sitting around. just can't get the interest up to do much cutting on the woodblocks or printing anything so just takin pics and doin blog updates.I am getting excited about being more active on the blog though so thats something ...goin out and shootin a hundred rounds or so into some pumpkins would be kind of fun about now.... not gonna happen right now though...

Me , Nick, Some Guns and my shoes...

So last year Nick Arnold (a printmaking friend of mine up at Syracuse) came by to visit for a few hours and he posed for some pics with my guns , when i got up to Philly for SGC last April he gave me this killer little woodcut he made from one of the pics he took of us....

Something Cool

So you start to feel like you're on to something when people start making art from your quotes.... check out this cool woodcut from Levi Banker based on one of my quotes on facebook....

A few words about Throwback

Ok, We are now well into the third limited edition run of mt dew throwback, or is it the fourth counting the first version of throwback?. Anyway I gotta say that it stokes me out so much, to go into a store and be able to buy a can of Dew with that hillbilly artwork on it. Granted it would be cooler if the colors were predominately green with white and red , instead of the white green red scheme that they are using, but still it makes me happy to see it. It would be better still if the hillbilly was standing there pointing his gun and the pig and the outhouse etc were all there too. I'm so glad its back on the shelves the real sugar makes a big difference, the orange juice in it makes a big difference, ( the first run of throwback didnt have it....) It might not be quite as good as dew in a glass bottle from West Jefferson, NC but it's a great drink never the less....

I hate having to stop printing to eat

I have had an ongoing battle with the need to eat versus the need to print. I used to go days without eating , just fueled by Dew and ink fumes. I never went a day out of the studio.... now i'm siting down eating a plate of sausages and a hot dog instead of printing.... I still have ink on my hands and cans of Dew but I took the time out to eat . pretty basic stuff but it gets in the way of what yer tryin to do.
