10th and Final Print Giveaway Hey Team! Not only do I have that fancy catalogue out today, I’m also having my final print giveaway. Here’s how it works: -Email me your mailing address (Joey at joeybates dot com) -The first 50 people to respond get a free print! The print will be of this piece that I’ve been working on. This is a thanks for following along and for the support. Hard to believe it’s been 10 years that I’ve been doing this. Cheers! #joeybates #art #scratchboard #inprogress #inthestudio #tools #explosion #print #thanks

Hey team! I’m gonna give something a shot here. I’ve been taking a break from actual making and am really feeling the need to, well, make. So I’m going to do an 11”x14” piece in the same vein as the piece pictured here. What’s different about this post: if interested in this guy when it’s finished it’s available for purchase. $800 including shipping within the U.S. send me a message if interested. I’ll be posting progress daily until it’s finished. #art #contemporaryart #explosion #drawing #ink #scratchboard #clayboard #ampersandartsupply

Framing day. There’s something so gratifying about seeing the pieces in their final state all cozy in their frames. Thanks to @nathanimse for his hard work on this guy and the big one for Explosion #1.#joeybates #art #cutpaper #paper #paperskull #skull #framed #presentation

Next Saturday. In Seattle. Message me for the address if interested. Chances are this is what my feed will look like for the week. I’ll post a new image of work available each day. This is the preliminary drawing for a cut paper piece I made earlier this year. It is available! #studiosale #art #drawing #penandink #veiledlady

Earlier this year I spent three months on an very large flower explosion piece. Throughout this week I will post detail images and the final image of the piece. I implemented a new structure building technique that has created much more depth and am stoked to keep improving.
