The Old Horned Deity:
September 19th- October 15th 2008
The Stanton Chapter
176 Stanton St. New York, NY (between Clinton St. and Attorney St.) - Lower East Side

In personification of the horned god Pan, harsh fluid collaged wood-cut print landscapes of gnarly trees, vibrant skies, birds of prey, hidden critters, and overgrown foliage will cover three walls of the gallery from floor to ceiling. Complimenting this landscape will be larger than life print covered sculptures of a leopard, a wolf, trees and an eagle swooping down from the gallery ceiling.

Pan was known to arouse inspiration or panic depending on his intentions. He was the god of woods and pastures, the mountain peaks and rocky crests. This show is an interpretation of the inspiration of nature aroused by Pan.

Gimme Head:
Brooklyn, NY (October 13, 2006) Several artists have been invited to participate in a group show called Gimme Head, curated by Dennis McNett. The idea of the show comes from a conversation at the bedside of the legendary Richard Mock. The conversation went like this:
D: I’m sick of looking at those big damn Chuck Close heads.
RM: He’s been doing those for years now.
D: You don’t want to get stuck doing heads over and over
M: well not unless they’re drippin and oozin shit.
Each artist has been asked to submit up to three heads. There will be a variety of animal heads, monster heads, dripping heads, oozing heads, barbequed heads, etc… heads of all flavors will be printed, painted, sculpted, and projected all over the gallery space.

Richard Mock Documentation:
Howlingprint is currently documenting the lino-blocks of the late great Richard Mock. Richard did lino-cut prints for the New York Times for over 18 years. He is very loved and missed.
Cannonball Press has been kind enough to assemble a memorial folio to sell to help raise money for this documentation. The proceeds will go to help me pay intern help, supplies and storage of the blocks. These folios can be purchased from Cannonball press.

Evil Prints visit 2007:
These photos were from my visit to Evil Print Studios in St. Louis, Missouri. The visit was hosted by artist and Evil Prints owner, Tom Huck. I was honored to have worked with Tom, his lovely assistant Daniel, and print assistant Ian. His huge 4x8 foot custom press was amazing. Damn good time and printed lots of stuff.

 

Visiting Artist University of Wisconsin 2007:
The print club at the University of Wisconsin was kind enough to invite me out a visit. The first two days Drew, David and myself printed the hell out of some blocks while listening to Black Sabbath and Slayer. I think it was over 400 impressions in two days including large 6 foot wolves on muslin, magnets, and tons of smaller images.
The print club kept half of everything printed to sell. Day 3 I gave two lectures and crits to the students there. It was really great.
