2 Year Plan
Halfway through this year I visualized a roadmap for my creative journey over the next couple of years:
2024 (Fall) – Launch Queen City Scenes work and opening at Essex
2024 (Winter) – For Heritage Modern Series prep Music Hall and perhaps a 24x18 and 12x9 Aqua and Red reprint with the updated for January printing at DIY.
2025: experiment with painting and watercolor monoprints between other focus projects
2025 (Winter and Spring) Focus on Intaglio; first etching and aquatints and perhaps mezzotint if there is time. Create a print series for four 4” x 5” copper plates and two to four 2” x 3” Experiment with hard vs soft ground; line vs tone using hard ground hatching or even soft ground shading vs aquatint tone
2025 (Spring) View from Devou Etching: State 1 is hardground linework, State 2 aquatint tones. State 3 hand-color a small portion of the edition. High Res scan after each state.
2025 (Summer): Start to explore linocuts and working with smaller detail
2025 (Fall) Experiment with Color Woodcuts and Registration; B&W woodcuts hand-colored, and lastly white line technique
2025 (Winter) Start Big Ink 2026 project
2026 (Winter) Big Ink!
