Ten years from now, how many enablers of and apologists for the current administration’s attack on our democracy will wonder how they can recover the integrity they have lost? However long their careers may be, whatever else they may accomplish, a lot of people are defining their legacy right now.

I wore a few of my #woodcut pieces as I deinstalled “Shelter”. And I enjoyed playing with the draped barbed wire. #printmaking #mixedmedia

When I look up I can see the clear blue sky #woodcut #workinprogress #printmaking #printsky

There are lots of people - especially current and former elected officials - whose legacies are going to be defined by how they respond to the current threats to our democracy. It won’t matter what their other accomplishments may have been. Everyone needs to speak up. “Suppress Dissent”, #linocut

These days I’m mostly carving shaped blocks that I combine to make unique images. I thought I’d share some of my older things (20 years ago, jeez) when I mostly made small editioned linocuts. “Lunch Hour”, “Two Factories, Two Museums, One Tycoon”, and “Boxers”. #printmaking #linocut #printsky

all the stuff I’m making recently is intended to work with sculptural elements, and not as stand-alone pieces. But it needs to hang on the wall to dry. So currently my studio feels way too orange. #printmaking #printsky #woodcut

“Justice”, a #linocut I made a number of years ago, recently came to mind. #printmaking #arepublicifyoucankeepit

I’m working in the studio today with that crazy orange color in mind. Why? Because that’s one of the rooms at Blankspace in Wilkinsburg PA that Marti Haykin and I will be occupying with our first truly collaborative art installation. “Shelter” will be happening from 3/1 - 3/16. Stay tuned!

There’s a new show up at StopWatch Gallery. Join us for “Contours”, an exhibition of figurative sculpture by Gadi Leshem and Duncan MacDiarmid. There’s a free meet-the-artists reception this Thursday, January 30, from 7-9 pm. I hope to see you in the gallery! #sculpture #figurativesculpture

mixed media piece, collaboration with Marti Haykin. We’re going to have a show of collaborative works blending sculpture and printmaking in mid-March. More about this as we get closer. . . #mixedmedia #collaboration #printmaking #woodcut #linocut #sculpture

carving this #linocut today. I hope to proof it in the next day or two. What’s on your studio to-do list? #printmaking #relief #reliefprint #workinprogress

A proof of my latest #linocut, a #raven.

Opening tomorrow at StopWatch Gallery & Studio in Greensburg PA. A show full of great prints from three portfolios that were a part of the Mid America Print Council Conference earlier this year.

“Cause and Effect”, a #linocut I made earlier this year for a portfolio dealing with the #climatecrisis. The portfolio was exhibited at the wonderful Mid America Print Council conference that was held this year at Kansas State University. #printmaking

Sometimes the clutter and happenstance of work in progress is more exciting than anything else in the studio. #printmaking #workinprogress #drawing

Here’s where I’m headed with the raven I proofed a couple of days ago. That piece is about 5’ long. It’s a start. #printmakers #woodcut

These are my three most recent finished pieces. They are 36” square woodcut/linocut and acrylic wash on muslin. I use shaped blocks so that I can selectively hand-print them in different configurations. The piece with the moon is printed on grey fabric. #woodcut #printmaking

are there #printmakers here? Here’s a proof of a #woodcut I finished carving a couple of days ago.
