Between the Eyes

I will have work on display all this week in the Oliver Gallery at USF. Closing reception is Friday at 7pm. You can find more information here.

I look forward to meeting people and answering questions. There will also be food, drink and generally awesome times to be had, so come check it out.

Banksy on Advertising

Here is a list of 10 great photographers that are harmful to the aspiring young artist. It's quite great actually. I've talked about a couple on this blog, actually. Not sure what that says.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present the culmination of a many months work of work, successes and failures. These turned out so much better than I could have possibly hoped, and I am thoroughly pleased with the results.

After a huge setback with the printing of the metal plates, I was forlorn and depressed. The emulsion had failed, or some other part of the process had gone awry. I resigned myself to scan the failures and make the best of what I had to work with, creating digital composites. It took some time to get around to it, and meanwhile the plates continued to react chemically, as I had not bothered to fix them for the full length needed as I knew they were not viable. It's a good thing I didn't. The texture and discoloration are exactly what was needed.

On a side note, sorry for the lack of posts recently, the last few weeks have been ridiculously busy. I will hopefully do better in the coming days. But really, you should all just be happy with all the new work I've been sharing. I mean really.
