Photography and Printmaking
Here are the prints inspired by Asafo Flags that I was talking about.
Three separate prints I made lately with archival water based color inks on BFK Rives paper. The first print is a simple dog. The second is sort of like Saturn Eating Cronus but more comical and with wild registration. And the third is a simple 80s businessman just minding his business in a pinstripe suit. 
Lately I’ve been making a lot of prints influenced by these Asafo Flags. Some people might argue that it is pilfering but I’m not so sure. I can’t really convey the real meaning of the originals no matter how I try.
Check out when you type Asafo Flag into google search.
I’m hoping to get my prints up by the end of this week.
We went to the Denver Art Museum’s Target Free Day yesterday and I found a Kehinde Wiley painting there. He has modern black men pose like in Renaissance portraiture.
Sorry I have been gone for so long. I love this street artist from Bogota, Columbia. stinkfish
Hi friends. I’ve mostly been researching and making things lately but haven’t uploaded anything yet. Anyway check out one of my inspirations the printmaker and sculptor Elizabeth Catlett!
A simple outline linocut of a Chockwe mask.
A linocut of a Ndebele pattern from South Africa. The bottom is a little distorted because it was too big to fit on the scanner.
A linocut I made of a bird with oil on it.
I was browsing the net for fellow printmakers and I found Sherrie York’s website. She is making sometimes up to 10 color reduction linocuts that are just fantastic!
And she lives in Salida, Colorado who would have thought?!
Eric and I went to school together at UWL. He has become such an awesome printmaker! I aspire to be as magical as he is with linoleum.
I think this print is Napoleon from Animal Farm with an American Flag.
