And We All Fell Over

@nicole.donnelly.art came by for a studio visit! It was super helpful to get some different thoughts & insights about my work. Now time to reflect for a spell before my next push forward! (Sorry I didn't get any other photos!) . . . #studiovisit #thesis #differentopinions #feedback #insights #fresheyes #thankyou #timetoreflect (at The University of the Arts) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bue3dOhFeH0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=946dtxdm51zc

I'm the opening spread for a featured article in the newest MICA publication, "Velocity" which highlights recent alumni and students. I must say, I really like the look of myself in print. 😘 Thank you so much for the opportunity to work with you @marylandinstitutecollegeofart #lookatmenow #imfamous #printmakerforlife #micamade #marylandinstitutecollegeofart #publishedartist #velocity (at Baltimore, Maryland)

Spent the afternoon slinging spells and binding journals at the Mt. Vernon Marketplace #bookbinding #magicthegathering #bmktpt #thebmorecreatives #mtvernonmarketplace #patterns #mtg #coke #productplacement (at Mount Vernon Marketplace)

Spent this morning enjoying and exploring the BMA's biannual Print Fair! I even got a piece of a Chuck Close photogravure from GRAPHICSTUDIO! #bcpf17 #printmaking #photogravure #chuckclose #graphicstudio #artbma #tombstone (at The Baltimore Museum of Art)

5th layer printed for this landscape. After I'm done with it, I'm never doing kento registration again. #printmaking #relief #woodcut #thebmorecreatives #wip #reduction #landscape #basementstudio (at Baltimore, Maryland)

And there we have it, a 3-layer multiblock linocut collaboration with the wonderful @balti_less . I'm aiming for at least half of the prints to make the final curation for the edition. This will be available through through the @bsmtpress online store! #collaboration #illustration #catsofinstagram #printmaking #relief #multilayer #edition #fingerscrossed (at Baltimore, Maryland)

There we go, the latest 2 layer reduction print, editioned, packaged, and ready to go! Final edition of 15, with 1 artist proof. #printmaking #relief #thebmorecreatives #packaging #edition #handmade #reduction #linocut (at Baltimore, Maryland)

Hot off the press, this 2 layer reduction print (and its single layer sister print) are related to a much older print that I abandoned during my apprenticeship, and I'm glad I finally finished this composition. The reduction is an edition of 10, while the black and white one will be left as an open edition. Side note: I really love having my studio in my basement in a more accessible area. I've pulled more personal prints in the past month than I did all of last year. #printmaking #art #handmade #relief #print #landscape #gamblinink #oil #linocut #multilayer #apprentice #revisit #ogunquitmaine #dongorvett (at Baltimore, Maryland)

There we go! Signed and editioned artist book, "Brick by Brick" by yours truly. Bound in a handmade 60%cotton/40%flax paper, internally dyed. Edition of 8. #artistbook #handmade #handmadepaper #woodcut #printmaking #relief #brick #community #nofilter (at Baltimore, Maryland)

Breaking in the new studio with a print that has been a long time in the making! This is a woodcut block book inspired by The Wild's album "A Collection" which I highly recommend you all go check out. They are wonderful. #printmaking #woodcut #relief #newstudio #blockbook #bookarts #handmade #friendship #thewild (at Baltimore, Maryland)

We are just about finished re-arranging our studio space! Hopefully we'll get to cranking out some new prints shortly! (Mainly once the weather isn't below freezing.) #studiospace #basement #productplacement #printmakingstudio #arteverywhere #stayinspired #toocoldforme (at Baltimore, Maryland)

Forgot to put up a few more of the watercolors I did while on vacation in New Mexico. Clockwise from the left is: sunset on the road from Taos to Santa Fe, Bandelier National Park, and a coffee shop near our hotel in Santa Fe. #travel #travelogue #watercolor #watercolour #visualjournalism #santafe #taos #sunset #coffee #pleinair #newmexico #thanksgivingbreak (at Santa Fe, New Mexico)
