End of summer print show

I will be taking part in a group exhibition of printmakers at Ginza Kawauso Gallery later this month. The exhibition runs from Aug 25-30, 12:00-7:00 (until 4:00 on the last day). Although I will still be in Canada for the beginning of the show, I will be back in time to attend the reception party on the 29th. Hope to see you there!

Summer!

It's summer... and oh so hot in Tokyo!
Mizenka just wrote a blog post about my new summer print The Real Deal.
As you may be able to tell from reading, it's not too serious a work, but I still put just as much care into this print as all the rest.
Enjoy!

Group Exhibition at Kyorin University Hospital

I am going to be taking part in an exhibition at the gallery inside Kyorin University Hospital.
"The 2nd Ichigo-ichie Exhibition"

Anyone around Kichijoji or Mitaka, please stop by. We have all chosen works that lift spirits, and as such I will be showing 3 of my happiest prints to date. Enjoy!

Hey everyone!
I started instagram.

In the studio

Hey friends and random visitors.
I have been on a bit of a slow streak of creation since my solo show ended, but I am still in the studio, working away.  Just for fun, I thought I would show you a small litho I am currently working on.
I started with a bright rainbow roll, using colours that don't enter my palette recently. It's been a fun challenge figuring out how to make the piece work.
FYI, I still haven't quite figured it out, but I have an image in my mind.

 Rainbow!

I was going for an intense sunset vibe.

 Now, currently at 5 layers. The background was printed twice (hard to see in the image, but adds depth to the colours)

Wish me luck in finishing it!

CCP 2015 Miniprint Catalog

Now you can see the whole exhibition without even going to the gallery! Perfect for people, such as myself, who do not yet have access to teleportation (or an unlimited stack of airplane tickets).
