New August Print !! “Icelandic Poppy x Kingdom of Hawaii,” Print Number 181, will be available at shows and stores later this Summer (if you would like one sooner, please get in touch). Available in three sizes: open edition 11 x 14 matted print, 16 x 20 Limited Edition print, and 24 x 30 Limited Edition XL print.
I'm often asked at shows about my work process. Each print uses different techniques, but all involve a blend of hand-drawn colored pencil studies and digital work. This print, "Icelandic Poppy x Kingdom of Hawaii," is an extreme example of work that skews heavily on the digital side. The original drawing is more like a contour drawing with the computer work essentially serving as a digital aquatint. Most of my other work will lean more towards the colored pencil element, but in this case, I wanted to use the original hand drawing to create the texture of the poppies (instead of using the pencils for the color). Please see the original drawing vs. the final work. . . . . and I hope to see you all soon at the Made in Hawaii show (August 23 - 25th).
