Hot off the press (ie. my work station) is this brand new print. Or brand old print, if you’ve been keeping tabs here.
Anyway, I printed the edition, and have a nice new stack of prints. They look delightful!
Here’s the regular version:
Driven, 4x6 woodblock print
The name of the print is Driven. I tried to make this image a reflection of how it feels to be compelled by something that you don’t quite feel like you have control over. Or it is a cool picture of a dude with a gear instead of a brain. Or maybe it is a comment on our modern times, except replace “modern times” with “industrial revolution”.
That’s the thing with art. You get to decide what it means to you, I just get to be the supplier.
Speaking of supply and demand and commerce and all things great about America, these will be on sale! Soon.
I just want to finish up this series of prints first.
This also means that this print is the first in a series of related prints. I started printing the next one yesterday, plan to finish it up this week.
I decided that I like working in series, so a lot of the work for Operation: Night Fire is being done as a series.
Operation: Night Fire
I function pretty much in binary. I’m either doing nothing, or scheming. Operation: Night Fire is my latest scheme. And it’s a good one. Ambitious. Waaaaay too much work. But, hey, it’s either that or do nothing. Like I said, binary.
I can’t quite tell you what Operation: Night Fire is quite yet, because I’ve learned not to explain my schemes until they’re already complete.
(You’d think I would have learned this from Ozymandias all those years ago when I first read Watchmen, but I didn’t)
So, clearly I let slip that Operation: Night Fire exists, the time isn’t right to fill you in on the details though. I need to finish it first.
I’ll tell you this, it’s gonna be freakin’ cool.
Nice work. I know what ya mean about being the “Supplier” of the piece. All my stuff is what it is, leaving you to fill in the blanks. Can’t wait to see more. Especially this Night Fire.
Yeah, we can make stuff, and it may mean something to us, but it may mean something totally different to someone else.
And that’s cool.
Night Fire is more of an overall initiative than a particular piece. In other words, I’m back in production mode.
Ramping up my end of Operation: Night Fire as well.
