Bonsai Pine Tree

Most recent black and white print - still concentrating on pine trees - this time in miniature.  Available here

Bristlecone Pine

Pine trees - pine trees.  Bristlecone Pine this time.  Available here.

Twisted Pine

 I have neglected my black and white prints for the last year, while I concentrated on larger scale multi colour work (which I plan on posting - sometime!).

But the lure of black and white has brought me back to one of my favourite subjects - pine trees. Available here.

Last summer at the Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition I saw this wonderful pattern on a black and white dress.  The woman wearing the dress told me it was from Brazil and let me take a photo of the pattern so that I could make this print.  Available here.

Blowing Skirt

I was watching a video of the Valentino Fall/Winter 2015 collection which was full of black and white squares and triangles and stripes.  Just perfect inspiration for this print!  Available here:

Block 232 - Full Frontal

I recently completed this large linocut print of the facade of an apartment block in Singapore.  The repetition of the windows is almost dizzying, but if you look closely the facade is not symmetrical.  How strange for a building of a slightly older vintage.  Available here.

I will also be showing this print at the Toronto Artist Project in February 2015.

The print is based on a photograph by Horst Kiechle.  He is a Flickr contact and over the past year or two I have made a number of prints based on his photography of Singapore architecture.
