This June, I’ll be having my first solo art show since Spoke Up!, back in January 2007. The show is called Connected, which also happens to be the collective name of this piece. I’ve still got a little ways to go, as you can see, but I wanted to show it as a work in progress as an explanation for my lack of posting or anything internet-related lately.

I don’t generally dig on the artsy concepts behind artwork, but to explain: I see this piece as a visual representation of how I believe my brain works, full of weird interconnected thoughts, repeating iconic images, and unconscious wordplay. It was also a good way to use up some of the boxes and boxes of scrap and found wood I had around the house, waiting to be used. Lastly, I’ve been pretty obsessed with hand-drawn typography lately; I’ve been reading old books on sign painting and lettering, and it’s pretty much all coming out of me through these tiny ink paintings.

The show is being held at Skeleton Key Tattoo in lovely SE Portland, Oregon (1729 SE Hawthorne, to be exact). The opening will be on First Friday, June 6th. This will be the centerpiece of the show but I’ll also be showing a few older paintings and some of my newer prints. I’m hoping to have two new screenprints done too, based on two pieces in Connected, but those will be last minute additions, depending on how quickly I can finish the last pieces of this.

If you’re interested in more closely following my process, I will be updating this Flickr set at least once a day until I’m done. Also in that set is this nifty animated gif if you’re interested in my exact progress through the piece.

As I’ve mentioned before, I took an etching and lithography class this last semester at school. Well, the semester’s over so I rounded up all of my prints and took some time to scan them all in so I could finally post them. All of these, and more, are for sale in my Etsy store: radrobot.etsy.com.

Ghost Bomb is a sugar lift etching. The red is brushed on each one by hand before I printed the plate.

This sugar lift etching is sort of an American astronaut companion piece to this Russian cosmonaut linocut I did a while ago, but with more guts.

A one-off print with smeared red ink.

A single test print I pulled before working into the plate more. Photocopy transfered aquatint.

This is what the above image turned into.

My first, and so far only, lithographic print. It’s a mummy that I pulled from a sketchbook page that I think I posted a few weeks ago.

A little monster print.

Another tiny print, I think I posted this months ago but I printed a few more. An accidental collaboration with my roommate. She scrapped this tiny plate with the feathers already etched into it, I picked it out of the scrap heap and added the dodo bird and the lettering.

I hope you’ve enjoyed all of my prints, I have some others planned for the summer, so watch out.

I finally found the time to put my new, Stumptown-debuted comic, Mustaches: For Fun and Profit, up for sale on the RCC website. It’s a 24-page, autobio story about my experience with facial hair, or more specifically, my first handlebar moustache. Each comic in the initial limited edition of 92 has a two-color, screenprinted cover and has a hand-cut, hand-glued, felt moustache on the front, in your choice of blonde, brown, or gray. (Black and orange sold out during Stumptown, sorry)

They’re only $4 (plus shipping) and they’re for sale right here. The first few people to order will also receive a free “Facial Hair Enthusiast” pin, while supplies last.

This is my final illustration class assignment of the semester, also created as a self-promotional card image for a big freelance work push I’ve got planned for this summer. It combines two of my favorite things: bikes and hairy things.

Alright, so it’s been over a week since Stumptown and I still haven’t gotten around to reading more than a handful of things I bought/traded for/was given, so I’ll sum up Stumptown for me and the RCC in a few general words. Saturday, hot, stuffy, packed with people who were not much in the mood to buy anything; figured out we could open the window behind us in the late afternoon, which was a highlight. Mustaches was up for “Outstanding DIY” at the Trophy Awards Saturday night. It didn’t win, but it was the only thing that sold well on Saturday, so no complaints. Sunday started slow but picked up by mid-afternoon, and people actually wanted to buy things this time through, including a lot of wholesale sales to comic shops. All in all, it was fun, as Stumptown always is, and that’s what’ll keep us coming back.

Normally, Stumptown Comics Fest would’ve been the biggest event of a given week for the RCC, but a mere 4 days after SCF2008 closed its doors we were scheduled to have a First Thursday art show at Tender Loving Empire in NW Portland. It was called “Beware The Robopocalypse” to go along with our newest anthology of the same name, and was a stellar success for everyone involved.

We showed original comic pages throughout the entire shop.

As well as these small, screenprinted, mini-posters, and of course comics were sold as well.

Oh yeah, and then the bands started playing…

And they brought an even larger crowd than was already there.

For many members, it was the first show in which they were an integral part of, but the night was still full of excitement for the veterans of the group as well. Thank you to anyone reading this who was able to make it out on Thursday night.
