Convergence, a hand-inked and hand-pulled collographic monoprint uses color and size shifts to convey a sense of motion to a central core, offset by a pulsation to the outer boundaries of the image. Matted and framed to 22″ x 28″.

Jupiter Rising
Jupiter Rising is my conception of a scene from that time in the future when the colonization of Mars is well underway and mankind is beginning the in-person exploration of the outer planets. A hand inked and hand pulled collographic monoprint on black Reeves paper. Matted and framed to 28″ x 22″.

Please note that a previous edition of this post included the wrong image and pricing information.
Sea Currents #1
Sea Currents #1 is a clay monoprint on canvas which draws on the beauty, if not the mythology, of the Hawaiian Islands. The image is meant to convey and evoke the underwater coastal “forests” and the currents that move them and through them. Matted and framed to 16″ x 20″
Music of the Gods
The Music of the Gods takes its inspiration from the beauty and mythology of the Hawaiian Islands. If you look closely (and perhaps squint a bit) you can see some of the Hawaiian gods playing in the upper half of the print. It is my adaptation of a clay monoprint on canvas, a technique developed by Mitch Lyons in the 1970’s Matted and framed to 16″ x 20″. $275
The Garden of the Gods
The Garden of The Gods is another in the series of Hawaiian inspired clay monoprints, a printing technique which utilizes moist clay, canvas, ceramic underglazes and a slab roller and which I feel is well-suited to express the lush color of a tropical garden that is intended to be fit for the gods. Matted and framed to “16” x 20″. $275
The God of the North
The God of the North is the fourth and last in the Directional Gods Series (The God of the South, The God of the West and The God of the East were posted earlier this month) In this series, the image of the god is augmented by the chillier blue palette to evoke the icy spirit of this particular god. Matted and framed to 16″ x 20″. $395.
NOTE: A previous edition of this post had the wrong artwork posted. This has been corrected and the right work is now listed.
