Hi! Wow! I have so many little bits just flying through my mind these days, too many ideas for one mere mortal to handle. Let’s make them happen. Ah!

So, on to other bit-processing news… One night, a while ago, I was hanging at my friends’ house and I made these digital drawings with ms paint.

“Mmmm Bird.”

A bird

Hi! I made this for my sister for christmas. It is a self-portrait as a starving bird paper toy. It is acrylic paint and pen on multiple layers of bristol.

Presently,

I am finishing up some presents and playing with the two cutest little dogs I have seen.

This is a bird on a branch for someone that better not look at this blog today. This is constructed of paper, plywood, a tree branch, wire and whatever this weird bird is made out of. It came with this bird cage my sister got about a year ago. I painted it white and gave it some proper tail feathers.

Just in case!

Dear Santas everywhere,
Here are some really cool things you can buy me! Even if you don’t want to buy me presents you should still check this stuff out. Maybe you will want to buy it for yourself. And if you do that you could always buy two of them. Right?!

Mome Volumes 6 - 15

Dash Shaw comics
The Unclothed Man in the 35th Century A.D.
Bottomless Belly Button
BodyWorld

Cosmos: Carl Sagan

To prove I’ve been a good boy, look at this birthday present I made my friend Leslie.

It’s a fun and educational digital drawing! See that galaxy? It’s the thing with arrows pointing to it. Wow, you are learning already! You’ll be a famous astronomer in no time, just like Carl Sagan!

Well, good luck with your last minute shopping, Santas. I can’t wait for my Christmas miracle!

Love,
Michael

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.
