It was a slow year for printmaking, but I’ve had a blast with medium format photography and developing my own film, and I’ve had a bunch of fun drawing for the wee one
A grid of art with a picture of the artist in the middle. Clockwise from top left: a print of a belted kingfisher; a linocut snowy mountain landscape with a blue sky; an engraved print of a woman looking at the viewer; a couple of cartoony airplanes done in crayon; three black and white photographs of architecture and trees; and a linocut print of a desert mountain landscape

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI
recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best. It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.

I sketch almost exclusively in ballpoint pen nowadays, and it's still my medium of choice for plein air studies:
Plein air sketch of Balanced Rock at Bryce Canyon, drawn in ballpoint in a moleskine, held up in front of the subject. Plein air sketch of the Swasey Hotel in Bodie, CA, drawn in ballpoint in a moleskine, held up in front of the subject. Plein air sketch ofsome hoodoos near the rim of Bryce Canyon, drawn in ballpoint in a moleskine, held up in front of the subject.

Yeah, I know. I will go to the mat for That Song.

Show me what you can do with just a pen!

I don’t break out the pens much for final works anymore, but it was my main medium back in college

QRP hair art

I tend to draw the suggestion of hair more than anything, but I really do love messing with the shapes of it

#printmaking #drawing #art #portrait
A picture of a black-on-white drypoint print, a simple line drawn portrait of a punk woman An oblique photo of a dark violet block print portrait of a woman, focused on her face and hair. The hair is simply rendered with a string of flowers across the top. A pencil sketch portrait of a woman. Her chin is on her hand, and she’s looking out just past the viewer. Her hair is parted and flows down her head and behind her shoulders. A photo of a black-on-white block print. The subject is the suggestion of a woman seeming to emerge from shadow, the form coming from the white skin of her face and hands, and a suggestion of the outline of her hair and gown.

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all are one, and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll
A photo of the pope in all white, holding and leaning up to a microphone on a stand like he’s crooning a killer jam. A bunch of people mill behind him but who cares about them

It’s been uh…. 23 years (🤮) since I was last in a darkroom, but I got to break that streak. Film is cool, but putting a blank sheet of paper in some water and watching an image appear from nothing is cooler

A picture of a negative enlarger, used for projecting a film negative onto photo paper for development. A picture of a photograph, a black and white silver gelatin print. The photo is a picture of a mountain peak rising from the ground, the many layers of rock visible much of the way up. In the foreground are some tour busses, and the sky behind it only has faint, wispy clouds A picture of a photograph, a black and white silver gelatin print. The photo is of a new born baby wrapped up in a blanket, laying in his hospital bed. His hands are by his cheek and his eyes are just barely open, looking off the right of the image. A picture of a photograph, a black and white silver gelatin print. The picture is of a tree hanging on the edge of a stream bank. Much of the ground under it having been washed away, the tree’s gnarled roots have turned into support columns stretching to ground level.

(1/x) Went to Scotland last week for a cousin's wedding, taking a toddler, a camera, and six rolls of #film The following thread is a collection of what came out of it

Tri-X 400, Minolta Autocord, developed and scanned at home

A black-and-white photograph of the Regent Bridge in Edinburgh, Scotland taken from below. The bridge is framed by two buildings, and is cast in shadow from the sun behind it. A black and white photograph of an old brick wall and a big utility box (or something). The bricks are roughly made; the mortar is thick and inconsistent, and has some plants growing from it. The utility box is graffiti-ed, and plastered with a poster for a show caleld "Dystopia: The Rock Opera". A black and white photograph of a castle-looking tower (Governor's House in Edinburgh, Scotland) sitting on the edge of a cliff face. The picture is taken looking from below, the tower silhouetted against the sky. The cliff is covered by many trees and scrubs. A black and white photograph looking down a street from the sidewalk. The street is bordered by two 20th century buildings, but they frame a castle-like structure sitting on a hill in the distance. Two cars are in the street, and people mill on the sidewalk. The picture was taken in Edinburgh, Scotland at the intersection of Calton Rd and Old Tolbooth Wynd, looking west to Governor's House.

Some shots from my first time using Ilford FP4. Maybe a little too flat out of the box for my taste, but it pretties up real nice in post and the detail is fab

A close-cropped black and white photograph of a building storefront. In the center is decorative art deco stonework on the facade, just to the left of an entryway advertising cocktails. A table and chairs are on the bottom, and a few fronds from a short palm jut out from the left edge. A black and white photograph of a foreboding liminal space. The focus on the bottom left are a few steps bathed in light, their lips worn down from a century of people climbing them. The rest of the frame is dark, but suggests a landing and a companion staircase. A black and white photograph of a forest stream. Taken from almost water height, the opposite bank and trees on it tower over the image, and are also reflected in the still water. The dark reflections are mottled by fallen leaves floating on the water. A black and white photograph of a tree sitting on the edge of a river bank, taken from below ground level. The tree’s root system has been exposed by erosion, turned into a gnarled network of roots that have been strengthened into structural members.

A few frames from the latest batch of development. Ilford HP5 120 #film shot on a Minolta Autocord. The contrast wasn't as punchy out of the tank as I like so I'll probably stick to Tri-X for my 400 shooting.

A black and white photograph of a series of large, gnarly live oak trees. The trees fill most of the frame, with a sidewalk running around them. A spooky black and white photograph of a hallway. The hallway is intermitantly lit and in shadow as the architecture of the walls blocks the ceiling lights. A black and white photograph of a city scene, taken above the ground. The focal point of the photo is a wood power pole and the various lines coming to and from. Around and behind it are a few buildings, with a forested hill in the far distance. A black and white photograph of the famous drum circle in downtown Asheville, NC. In the center of the crowd are a bunch of people playing various percussion instruments, surrounded by bystanders watching and dancing along.

Four black and white comic panels in a 2x2 grid. Each appears to depict a mirror frame, reflecting a pretty person applying mascara to their eyelashes, messing up their hair and pouting, then wiping their mouth and grimacing, and finally turning around, looking over their shoulder.

More truck-free cargo trailer action! This was a 30-mile bike ride to pick up a bedroom set from a Craigslist ad. Once you live a car-lite or car-free lifestyle, you can't unsee the waste and inefficiency of personal car ownership. #CargoBikes #CarsRuinCities #FossilFuel #CleanAir #CarsStink

A black and white photograph of baseball pre-game warmups. It’s looking down to home plate from the deep third base foul line. Players mill around warming up. A black and white photograph. A bunch of people are sitting on tall chairs socializing, with a dog sitting in front of them A black and white photograph of a stream running through a forest A black and white photograph of the edge of a forest. Centered in the frame is a long line of trees running down either side of what must have been a path at one point, but it’s now blocked by a private property sign.
