Black and Bling Skull
Black and Bling Skull, Solorplate, 3"x3"
The print started on frosted glass and I drew in pencil on the surface. I then placed the glass ontop of the solor plate and exposed the image to the sun. It is a technique that is closer to lithograph, but is actually a solorplate.
Once the plate was burned then I was free to do all sorts of things. The black in intaglio then I hand painted the yellow directly on the plate.
This is an edition of 10 I have 5 prints then I gave Tats Cru www.tatscru.com
I had a bad morning one day and somehow I ended up sitting on a curb watching Tats cru work their magic and it changed my headspace. After seeing those guys work I eventually got hungry to make my own work. It snapped me out of what could have been a crappy morning into a very productive day. So I wanted to thank them for not bothering me while I watched them work. One never knows where or when inspiration will appear and they were just what I needed that day.
Pink Skull
Pink Skull, Solor Plate, 3"x3"
This is a two plate print. The first was the background with the pattern of diamonds with a dot in the middle then the second plate has two colors on the plate. I inked the background intaglio and then just rolled a little pink on the skull using a roller and a stencil I made out of tape.
Eye of Horse
My cousin, who lives upstate, own horses. My mother and I spent the weekend and I took photos while visiting. I printed the digital photographs and made a couple solor plates.

My friends and I once visited Dan Welden in his home and studio. We had an amazing meal. Then we looked at original Rembrandt Prints while listening to classical music. I remember Dan saying this is the perfect piece to look at that print.
Dan also has a book "Printmaking in the Sun" and on page #12 is a print of Joseph Peller. All I could think . . . what a small world. I studied with Joseph Peller for 4 years and was also his assistant.
