Printer Death

I left for Portland for the weekend, leaving my plotter cranking out stencils ready to be cut. Everything was working wonderfully when I left but somehow when I returned the printer was in error and won't recover from it. I've had this message come up before but this time the printer head won't even move. I've fought it all morning and have gotten no where. Which means I'm most likely going to have to get another printer. And considering how long it took to find this one (meaning a cheap and functioning plotter) finding another is not going to be fun.

New Concrete and Steel Sketches

I've spent the weekend working on sketching new stencils on the computer. Essentially these are the results of my past few days. The original photos are a mix of Seattle and Portland and majority of them are photo-merges. These are smaller than the previous works of the set and much more detailed with higher layer counts. I'm pretty excited.






New Nordstrom Sketches

Added a few final sketches for this series.




Death of a Squid

Progression of each stencil layer being printed over an old stencil. The squid just wasn't meant to last.
