I photographed the EUP Print Club’s Exquisite Corpse Set. There will be more info on it soon enough.

Hello, World!

If you live in or around Pittsburgh, are going to be in Pittsburgh or want to visit Pittsburgh this Friday, April 2, come to Most-Wanted Fine Art, 5015 Penn Ave. The opening for the John Lysak and friends printmaking show in the gallery will be at 7 pm. I will be there and so will some things I made!

Also, if you received a printer’s hat or a scrap of paper with terrorkill.com written on it, and are now perusing this tiny spec of the interwebs, send me and email or message me and tell me how cool you are. mdaburch@gmail.com

Bird Boy

This exciting semester has come to a close, so I will be posting all my prints that haven’t been interwebized soon. This print is from the Print Club’s second 24 hour print exchange. For this exchange, each artist received a fortune cookie that contained the title of their print. Here is Bird Boy in a 5 layer silk-screened print. Sorry for the lines. I will try to rescan this later.

Print Club’s THE ULTIMATE SHOW

Michael — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 03:07:16 +0000

If you were unfortunate enough to miss the Ultimate Show, presented by the Print Club, I feel extremely sorry for you. It was one of the most exciting presentations of work I have seen in Bates Gallery in the last 6 years. Here are some pictures of the roughly 200 prints made by students, faculty and artists who have worked with Egress Press.

The show was curated by the Print Club’s President, Justin George, and was up from Nov. 14-21. I had several pieces in the show for sale, most of which have been seen on this site before. I should have photographs of The Ultimate Show’s Ultimate Hoedown and the very fun and exciting Print Camp soon enough.

Explosive Creativity

The Print Club was recently commissioned by the Sculpture Club to create a poster for their upcoming show in Bates Gallery. I volunteered to design the it, and with Justin George’s collaboration we banged out this rocking poster that I am so pumped about. It ended up being 14 printed layers on 4 layers of paper in an edition of 14. I really have to thank Justin because without him this would never have gotten made and it most certainly would not look as awesome.

I have yet to attempt to make a photolithographic print, but I do have a couple in the works. This is the key layer for one of them.

For one night of Halloween weekend I dressed up as this very bird boy. My friend Devon went as the sky so I flew around in her for a little while.

Another photolithograph that I am working on completing is this No Care Space Bear. This is my initial sketch.

I will try to finish these prints and interweb-ize them very soon.

In one night…

Last thursday the Print Club sponsored a one night print exchange. About 16 printmakers got together to make prints to give to each other. We chose 3 words from a large list to form the title of our prints and then had the night to complete them. This is my awkwardly sexual, finished print. I think of this as a self-portrait with some of the physical attributes altered to represent some of my less-than-perfect character traits. This print, along with the finger and nipple from the previous post, is the start of a new body of work I am presently calling 69 Love Stories.

This week is Edinboro University’s annual Art Auction hosted by the Student Art Leaque at Bate’s Gallery in Loveland Hall on campus. This print, along with several others in a suite titled “Pleasure Prints”, will be sold at the auction to benefit the school’s annual publication, Chimera.

In other print related news, I made an invitation for David’s 24th birthday celebration on October 16th. The evening was filled with fun and excitement, and was full of dancing. Here are the front and back of the screen-printed card.

Come have fun with…

If you don’t know then you’re not invited.

A start

Michael — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 02:18:58 +0000

The beginning of a new semester, a new degree and two new prints. These were both screen printed and are just being started. There is a lot left to do with both of them, but I am happy with how they are working out so far. Many more to come.
