About my art
Most
of my illustrations are inspired by landscapes that are influential to
me both for their beauty and relevance in my own life as a climber. Some
of my
illustrations are rather literal representations of specific landscapes,
while others are more figurative. As you may have noticed, most of my
art is marked with lettering or text. This style of mine has developed
over the years out of my love for
book-arts and my own journaling. At some point I started
incorporating these influences into my art, and believe that is
represents
the
propensity for these exquisite landscapes to elicit powerful human
emotions. Sometimes this text is legible while other times it is
simply jumbled letters or words with less literal meaning. Most of the
time, it is unimportant what the text says. Instead, the text is
commonly used as conceptual design alluding to a connection to the
landscape which transcends its beauty. The text is representative of
something deeper - a unique, inquisitive human experience. In this way,
I hope to share something different that a beautiful landscape
photograph cannot accomplish. The laborious and sometimes obsessive
quality of the lettering and details in my illustrations are synonymous
with my own obsessions and yearnings for these wonderful places.
About the Prints
My
artist proof prints (AP) are created by adding original, hand-drawn
additions to giclee (zhee-klay) prints. A giclee print is a
high-quality, archival
reproduction. Each component of the reproduction process, including
the paper, the ink, and the printing, is of the utmost quality. The
combination of exceptional pigment based inks and thick, archival paper
produces a
print almost indistinguishable from the original. Furthermore, the
archival printing process maintains the quality of the print for
hundreds of years - especially if it is framed well. Because I add
additional hand-drawn components, each print is labeled an artist proof
and is essentially a unique, one-of-a-kind print. Each print is
hand-signed and labeled AP.

Basaltic Columns - 33" x 25" pen on mulberry paper (original only)
This
drawing is a conceptual representation of the patterns as seen in the
geological formation called, Basaltic Columns. An example of this
formation is Devils Tower, WY where the rock crystals' properties and
its cooling process creates these wonderful hexagon shaped pillars.
Over the course of months, by utilizing thousands upon thousands of tiny
hatch lines, I pieced together this representational basaltic column
pattern. |
