Skin Deep Extras

In conjunction with the historic Skin Deep exhibit of life drawings that is destined to shake up the art scene in Santa Fe, Paris, and New York, a snazzy collection of Skin Deep products is being offered at CafePress.  A link will be posted here soon for the 66-page, souvenir Skin Deep Exhibit catalog.

Skin Deep Exhibit

Our Tuesday night drawing group has announced an exhibition of life drawings that were made during the course of a Tuesday night session. 

16 artists are participating. Each artists was allowed to select, at their own discretion, up to three drawings for the show.

A 66-page exhibit catalog will be given to each artist and to the models that we’ve drawn throughout the past year or so. Additional copies of the catalog will be available at the show, and on Amazon.com, at a ridiculously low price.

The show features a wide selection of styles and techniques of poses that varied from several minutes long to just under 1 hour, exhibiting a rawness and spontaneity that is both refreshing and compelling.

Anodized Art

I'm experimenting with images printed on aluminum. I use sketches from the Tuesday night life drawing group as reference to make vector art versions of the drawing in Adobe Illustrator, then import the vector art into Photoshop CC to add various effects and background textures. The MetalPrint process should result in vibrant colors, although I'm waiting for a test print to see the results.

I’m also collaborating with a artist/jeweler/metallurgist to explore the possibilities of adding special metal enhancements, such as sterling silver, to the aluminum surface.
