print

printing is as simple or complex a process as you want it to be. with me its just an extension of my drawings that i can do at home. i enjoy the repetitive and methodical act of carving and the ability to create multiple of an image is great from my work.

printing, especially on the small scale is an excellent combination of the human and mechanical. the original drawings is human, the the carving and printing process is mechanical, then as you alter the printed image you make it human again. the physicality of printing like this is also refreshing as the digital age, as great as it is, moves further and further away from these techniques.

i am a sucker for the cult of personality. joseph beuys was rescued by the tatar people after his plane was shot down in ww2 and saved only by the animal fat they wrapped him in. picasso, when he was still young and known as pablito, carried a pistol in his belt to prove his manliness. royal tenenbaum died while rescuing his family from a sinking battleship.

all i can say is that if i get alzhiemers when i am older, i hope my family reminds me of the great things i did in my life... like when i ruled circumnavigated the globe in my handglider and when i took vladamir putin to 11 rounds in the middleweight championship but had to which draw because of an open facial wound. those will all be good times.
