Updated: Selected cards and note sets are now available at the shop at the Delaware Center for Contemporary Arts!
Tonight from 5-9 I’ll be at the Delaware Center for Contemporary Arts in Wilmington! Come check it out!
Several people have expressed interest in my woodblocks lately. Besides being the raw material for my prints, they are little objects in and of themselves- I’ve been carving on different types of wood, and getting a feel for the different softnesses and grains. The maple that was left over from my table-building project is super easy to carve, and allows me to have a greater control over the marks left behind. I’m in the process of developing the blocks themselves into art (uh- “art”)… finished pieces. These are about 3×4″, on soft maple, and I’m planning to frame them after taking a few impressions.
Bowerbox Press is pleased to announce that select cards and prints are now available at Hampden’s own Red Tree! This great store features work by a lot of local artists, including fellow Mafia members Sweet Pepita and Spaghetti Kiss, personal favorites like Biggs and Featherbelle, as well as great home furnishings and gifts.
This past week, I assisted at a workshop headed by Mo Lebowitz- revered graphic designer and letterpress printer. Perhaps you remember him, singing with his wife Loretta:
Mo’s slide lecture was in between bluegrass sessions: Mo plays mandolin, and Loretta plays the autoharp. They were accompanied by some local musicians for the lecture. Having them at the workshop was a pleasure, and quite entertaining with all the stories.
The workshop was attended by students from Towson University and Stevenson University, and we had a great time. All the students were really interested and motivated- we printed business cards from polymer plates, and each student learned how to set type by creating a haiku. The haiku were laid out in one big poster, and printed in two colors- Mo set some type for the first time in a while, and came up with the title.

Success!
