Tango at Trieste

This is a piece I did recently for my show at Caffe Trieste in downtown San Jose. Not specifically a tango painting, but it has that feel. I've been experimenting with a few new techniques also. Lately I've been really into Bossa Nova and all manner of jazz from Brazil, which is what sort of inspired this. Check out this great blog (Loronix) for tons of great records and info!

Anyway, it's been quite the "tango" dancing through all the projects I'm currently working on. See the previous post for more on that. But to see this painting in person, and much more, visit Caffe Trieste at 315 S. First Street in San Jose from 7/24 - 8/30. There is a reception the First Friday of August, the 7th, from 7pm-whenever. It'd be great to see you if you can make it (and are in the bay area, of course)!

Drifting

A piece I did recently that I titled "Adrift". Then I noticed this week's Illustration Friday topic was "drifting", then I noticed I haven't posted on my blog in many moons. So here is the triple play!

You can buy a print of this here.

Paper Making

Last weekend our art group made paper out of recycled junk mail. So this morning I carved a linoleum block and printed on it. Some of them turned out well, but I need to work on getting the paper smoother, less texture. All in all, a fun experience. Here is a photo of the print on a sheet of handmade paper.

Coming soon!

Hierarchy

This week's Illustration Friday topic, "Hierarchy". Don't know if these two know, but the order seems a little mixed up between them! :)
