My apologies for not posting. Busy moving to a new house and studio. Trying to update my blog software and losing all of my images. Hence the Gimlet(s). This maybe the only image for a bit while I sort out the damage. Arrgh.

It has been a bit since I posted. Been in the crazy world of buying and selling real estate in this strange economic climate. Hard to focus on anything else. But we are heading into the final stages – I hope. Fingers crossed, but the condo has sold which was the hardest part. Rebecca and [...]

Sold! Yep, that’s right. I’m putting my beloved (11 yr. old) press on the block. Just haven’t been using it enough. Plus, it looks like I’ll be having to move my studio in the not too distant future. Asking $4,500 OBO. Comes with blankets and a bunch of ink. It can be disassembled enough to [...]

I’ll be opening my studio door next week for First Thursday. That’s May 6th. I’ll be there all day until 8:30 or 9 pm, so feel free to stop by early if you can’t later. If I don’t answer the door, I’m over at Uwajimaya buying supplies. I’m across the street from the International District [...]

Have you been to the Museum of Northwest Art? If you haven’t you should. It is located in La Conner, WA just a short drive north of Seattle. The wonderful curator, Kathleen Moles has been mounting some very interesting shows so do yourself a favor and check it out. This looks especially tasty: RESONANCES: CONTEMPORARY ECHOES [...]

Stephen is on vacation (well deserved) and I’m sitting the gallery for him today. I get to spend time with Adam’s exceptional photos. From the press release: Adam Satushek pays close attention to the ways that human beings influence their surroundings through the traces that are left behind and the impact on the landscape from [...]

Rebecca wanted to find some sun for her birthday, so we headed to Eastern Washington the first week of April. Grand Coulee to be specific. Once we crossed the mountains the sun shone and our spirits lifted. First stop, Frenchman’s Coulee. We hiked around for an hour or so, enjoying the sun. We saw wild [...]

Sheila and I have been dialing in the acid bath for the perfect etch. Well, mostly Sheila, I usually just do what she says, ” Do not put your hand in the acid, please.” Since this is a new shop, she has been ramping it back up for production work. Anyone who has ever moved [...]

Sick.In bed. On a GORGEOUS Seattle Saturday. Ugh. Trying out a laundry list of cold medicines to alleviate MULTIPLE symptoms. Don’t worry. Not at the same time. Watching college basketball with the sound down while leafing through Pauline Kael’s “For Keeps.” I almost spewed herbal tea on my lap when I read this line from [...]

Ideat, a culture magazine based in France, sent a journalist and photographer to report on Seattle. Somehow they ended up ay my studio after First Thursday. Actually, Deborah Paine was their tour guide that evening and we work together at the City of Seattle.  From L to R: Tod Gangler, Deborah Paine, Jean Michel de [...]
