Sorry to keep posting partial, preview images; as soon as I get my typeface made, I’ll show the completed pages. Here’s the mad monk himself, Rasputin, who is my subject for the letter R in B is for Beard.

You regular viewers may remember this image from a few weeks ago. My school is putting on a tarot card themed print exchange this year, and I finally printed these up late last week. I made a polymer plate of the image and letterpressed them (at the IPRC) onto French Paper’s Pop-Tone Whip Cream paper.

The first 41 prints of the limited edition of 48 prints are for the print exchange, so I’ve only got the last seven up for sale in my Etsy shop.

Also: There’s about three weeks left to turn in your BEARFIGHT submissions!

OK, here’s another sort of sneak peek at another spread from my B is for Beard thesis project. This is the full spread, but the “is for cookie duster” is just a place holder. It will eventually be set in a handwritten typeface along with some other text which I have not finished writing.

I’ve been spending most of the last week gearing up to get started on all the interior illustrations for my senior thesis project, B is for Beard. In case you don’t know about it yet, I’m creating a fully-illustrated alphabet book with facial hair as the theme. It will be completed and an edition of books made by the end of April.

This is just a small section of the first completed illustration, for B, obviously. B is for “beard” but B is also for Babe the Blue Ox and Bunyan, Paul as well. I’ll be showing a few more sneak peeks as I go, but won’t start posting full pages until I get the full text written and placed.

The building that houses my studio also has a mural-only space in the entryway called the Ephemeral Gallery. A different artist comes in each month to paint a mural on this 15 by 8 foot wall space, and at the end of each month, it gets whitewashed. I got asked to do it for February, and finished it all in about 7 hours yesterday.

The phrase came from a conversation I had with a friend last week. We were discussing how many friends we both had who are artists, craftspeople, small business owners, and how we really try to support them when we can and that we sincerely wished that everyone we knew could be famous for what it is they do. That sentiment seemed appropriate for a building full of creative offices.

If you happen to be in Portland, it will be up the rest of the month at 412 NW Couch St. It’s right by the entryway doors, so you can even see it well at night if you come by and the doors are locked.

Progress shots and whatnot are up on my Flickr.

I was asked to create a piece for the “Portland Poster Series” through Society6.com. Each artist was asked to create a Portland-themed poster that displays a bit of trivia about Portland, or something that symbolizes what Portland is to them.

It’s for sale as a large, high-quality print through Society6.

You can see what prints have been uploaded so far right here: Portland Print Series, and if you happen to live in or near Portland, all prints will be hung in a show at 19Ten Gallery in North Portland, which opens on Saturday, March 6th. More on that in about a month.

Over the last few years I’ve had many people ask me to put together books or comics for them, or just help them with their book package design. It’s made me realize that as much as I like making the content of the book, what I really really enjoy is simply making books, any books, so about six months ago, I quietly launched a little small press imprint, Banner Year Press, to release my last book, FADGE. The plan is to release books whenever I feel I can afford to, starting with my own work and small anthologies, and then once I’m done with school, pick things up a bit and start publishing solo books by others. But enough about that, it’s time for the first Banner Year Press anthology, BEARFIGHT!

BEARFIGHT is simply this: a bunch of artists (maybe you?) make an image of any sort of bear they wish, but that bear must be fighting something; anything that you think it would be funny, or have always wanted to see a bear take on. Some people’s will be funny or even cute, while other artists will do something brutal; I’m pretty much into it all, as long as it’s a bearfight.

The book will be released in a limited edition of 500 copies, will be perfect bound, and like all my books will wear a screeprinted (or maybe letterpressed) cover. Interior pages will be grayscale only, and length of book will be determined by number of entries, but if I get too many entries, I will most likely have to jury the selection.

The deadline for submission is Wednesday, March 10th. For technical information, as well as a template/artist agreement, please go here: http://banneryearpress.com/bearfight.

This is an open call, so please, please pass the word around if you’re excited about BEARFIGHT!
