[art family] print is not dead

my two latest Dirk Fowler prints to my collection, that I’m over the moon about…!!!!!!!! (seriously the luckiest to know Dirk, & have learned so much from his generosity & more)

[art family] congrats

speechless & beyond grateful & there aren't words to describe how lucky & excited I feel, with a congrats letter from one of my favorite people who has inspired me since the very beginning, this envelope came from Detroit to South Plains College where I'm an adjunct professor this semester (I didn't even know that I had a mailbox there until yesterday!) & contains two huge Kennedy Prints letterpress prints on roadmaps !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! &&& make sure to come out to LP: THE LETTERPRESS PROJECT this October First Friday Art Trail for the international letterpress exhibition that Dirk Fowler & I are curating, Amos Paul Kennedy, Jr. is one of ten artists we'll be showing off! (thank you thank you thank you Amos !!!! I'll be returning the good vibes soon! lots of love!) #letterpressforever 💙💙💙💙💙

[work-in-progress] yellow

"There are painters who transform the sun into a yellow spot, but there are others who, thanks to their art and intelligence, transform a yellow spot into the sun." 

- Pablo Picasso

although I've been thinking an awful lot about blue lately, since I have a collaboration about to start with one of the most talented & amazing artists that I'm grateful to know (more on that soon), I've also started some new prints with the first color being the brightest & applying it by using the vandercook like a really really heavy paintbrush, as #letterpressIsntJustForLetters, & I can't wait to see how this unfolds!

#LOVE, no matter who you are, let's come together❤ grateful for the hundreds of people that came thru & printed tshirts + protest posters, all the shirt money is going to the local rape crisis & women protective services & the posters were free! #freedomofthepress


I'm speechless with all the love & support & community & more that took place today when it was really needed, here & my loves in DC/Austin/everywhere, & I went to a fancy art fundraiser later that evening with ink still stained on my hands (even after taking a shower) & couldn't be happier bc it goes with the #lbd here in the #lbk!
