Things To Do In Denver….

Blake — Thu, 09 Jun 2011 15:33:21 +0000

I'm in a group show at Robischon Gallery in Denver. Sweet.

I made three new paintings for the show:

Painting #6975, Acrylic on panel, 48" x 36" x 2", 2011

Painting #6978, Acrylic on panel, 48" x 60" x 2", 2011

Painting #6987, detail,Acrylic on panel, 48" x 36" x 2", 2011

These paintings do, of course, have snappy titles. I, um, didn’t write them down before they were crated. Until I hear from the fine folks at Robischon (busy with the install) you’ll just have to speculate.

I’m Still Here…

Been very lazy about the blog – but busy in the studio.

Mixing paint…

And checking out my new view…

The great outdoors, or "the backyard" to some.

It was cold. It started snowing. People came anyway!

Thanks to everyone that stopped by for the “Dog ‘n’ Pony.” Thanks to Sheila for hosting.

Thanks to 4Culture for helping make this possible.

I’m hoping to host something at my studio for those that couldn’t make it.

Here are a few pics from the event (thanks Rebecca):

We are hiding our nervousness through laughter.

Umm, what do we do now? Who are all these people?

This had better work! Sheila at the press...

Whew. It worked! Sheila once again pulls a good print.

Try Harder

Thanks to everyone that came out – a good turn out despite the cold weather. I’ll post images of the event soon. But first, my new portfolio of prints, “Try Harder.”

details, details

The suite of six, below:

Try Harder Tomorrow

Blake — Sat, 20 Nov 2010 22:28:25 +0000

It’s done. The suite is complete. It is called Try Harder and is comprised of 6 prints in an edition of 6 with 6 artist’s proofs. Just kidding, that would be evil. There are just two artist’s proofs.

We unveil it tomorrow at Sidereal Fine Art Press in Tukwila.

Number last.

Print release party from 2-5, tomorrow – Sunday Nov. 21.

(I picked up several growlers of Manny’s from Georgetown Brewery if that’s any incentive.)

Kelly Mark !@#$%^&*

October 14 to November 27, 2010

Letraset? WTF?

Got a chance to hang out with Kelly Mark at her opening at Platform last night.

Remember Letraset? Kelly uses it to make these gorgeous, extremely intricate drawings. Not to be missed.

Meanwhile back at the Farmhouse

Finally a post, eh? Summer is over. Time to update.

Been busy with a new house, new studio – new pathways in the brain. Finally feeling settled.

The new digs - definitely not downtown Seattle anymore.

South Seattle – Rainier Beach to be exact. No more ten minute walks to work. The two car garage is the new studio.

Where will it all go?

And upstairs from the studio – a bonus room:

The clubhouse.

Rebecca and I really love it here.

And, finally some new work!

I’m Having A Gimlet!

Blake — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 05:59:34 +0000

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.

Attention Artists! ID studio available.

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 I are moving from condo to house mid-month which means giving up my ID studio of 5 years. Which means some lucky person can have this great space.

And of course I have stuff, I mean amazing “things” to get rid of to gift to other artists, like these crates of varying sizes:

And other odds and ends.

If you are interested in the space or the crates or the odds and ends please let me know.

I’m out at the end of June.
