Shows, shows and more shows

Today I had the lovely surprise of receiving this catalogue in the mail. It is from the Yamamoto Kanae Print Grand Prix Competition in Nagano, one of the 5 shows I am exhibiting in this month.

Today was the last day for the Print Collection show at school, a great success.

Starting next week is the Japan Print Society Exhibition in Saitama for which I will be going to the party and award ceremony on the 18th.

Back in the hallway at school will be the Tawara Prize, exhibition of the 1st year MFA printmaking students, starting on my birthday, Nov 21.

Last but not least, I have submitted a new piece to be revealed at the Geidai Art Plaza Award show starting that same week.

Spaghetti Neck

I am currently racing to finish a print for an exhibition with all the first year MFA printmakers at school.

This is the progression of Spaghetti neck and how I am usually working on a lithograph.

The finished print was displayed at school as part of the Tawara Prize show and will be shipped off next week to the Machida City Museum of Graphic Arts.
