“Flash: Tattoo For Conrad” is a single block printed on navigational training charts. The image is a variation on a design I’ve drawn and toyed with over the years. Here it’s conceived as a piece of flash, or tattoo art that hangs on studio walls to advertise the artist’s skill and inspiration for the customer.
Flash has come to be considered an artform of its own over the years. Here, I’m commemorating one of my favorite authors, Joseph Conrad, and the transformative value of literature.

“Becalmed” was my second successful print. It’s a reduction print made using four blocks. I used a homemade frame as a register. It is printed on Blick Masterprinter Paper, an inexpensive sulphite paper. The smoothness of the paper surface enabled me to print by hand, without a press or other device.

“The Voyage” was what I considered to be my first successful linoprint. It’s a reduction print, meaning that I carved more and more out of the same block for each successive printing. I used a frame that my dad made for me as a register. The block was carved and printed four times to create each tone of gray.
