I wish I was funny enough to draw sequen­tial art that oth­ers found amus­ing. Since that is not my prowess, I will con­tinue to enjoy oth­ers’ work instead. Lizz Hickey, for instance! Lizz’s recent sequen­tial work tends to revolve around the char­ac­ter “Carol”, a man­i­fes­ta­tion of a self con­scious. Gen­er­ally dis­agree­able, there is a bit ...

Process Reprocess is a series all about what it takes to cre­ate work. For this install­ment, May Yang has been kind enough to enlighten us all as she begins a print­mak­ing series. At one time, she was call­ing her cur­rent series the “The Tiger and the Ram”, but has since scrapped that. Read the first ...

I am really intrigued by the work of Hélène Jeudy. The com­bi­na­tion of draw­ing and print tech­nique is beau­ti­ful and mys­te­ri­ous in its dis­tor­tion and forms. The beauty, to me, is in the ink itself. The rich­ness of the black ink is a per­fect com­bi­na­tion to the expres­sive line work that Hélène has done. All images via ...

Recently, I had the plea­sure of vis­it­ing Alli­son Long Hardy at her stu­dio in Wood­bridge, Vir­gina. She made lunch, I made dessert, and found out we had done the same artist res­i­dency that sum­mer. I got to view her space, com­plete with a gor­geous vin­tage press (that weighs about 800lbs!) Alli­son is a print­maker. She ...

I love look­ing at the vari­ety in Rose Blake port­fo­lio. It’s a mix­ture of print­mak­ing, draw­ing, and comics, all with an obvi­ous influ­ence of sequen­tial work and books. Each sec­tion of her port­fo­lio has a dif­fer­ent feel to it — a slightly dif­fer­ent style. Her print­mak­ing is com­prised of shapes, and how those shapes coex­ist when ...

Elisa San­doval is a print maker. She cre­ates etch­ings and dry point prints that are nature-centric. I like Elisa’s imagery. Her prints are like plans that’s she’s cre­ated for nature — arrange­ments and con­struc­tions for trees, sticks, and bushels. The “plans” are a really nice motif of shape, and present an inter­est­ing con­cept. I feel ...

Erin Wal­lace was another artist at the MICA Com­mence­ment Exhi­bi­tion that impressed me. Her set-up included posters she had made that were free for the tak­ing. (Of course, after I got there, they were all gone…:( ) Erin’s prints tend to vary in their for­mat. Some, such as the screen prints, are full color, fully com­posed ...

Har­riet Seed is an emerg­ing illus­tra­tor out of the UK. Her web­site shows a vari­ety of dif­fer­ent tech­niques and poten­tial direc­tions she can go with her work. While I enjoy Harriet’s work as a whole, I really love her images of museum vis­i­tors. I feel like she hits the right notes there; the draw­ing is loose ...

Anthony Zinonos is addicted to col­lect­ing paper. His work is a prod­uct of his col­lec­tion, incor­po­rat­ing print­mak­ing, col­lage, and photo imaging. Anthony’s work tends to be min­i­mal­ist, have a large fields of a lim­ited color palette, and one focal point in the image. Aside from this, Anthony has also made his work some­what absurd and ...

Hillery Rebeka Sproatt is an artist and print maker liv­ing in Bal­ti­more, Mary­land. While involved in many endeav­ors, she has a great draw­ing series enti­tled Every­thing In Between, which is a medi­a­tion about “float­ing within”. Hillery was sell­ing her work at a local art mar­ket dur­ing the past hol­i­day sea­son, so I got the oppor­tu­nity ...
