A cute little Saw-whet Owl linocut I'm done printing. I saw one in Butte and it was so adorable.

I finished printing some new linocuts tonight in the shop and I love how my badger turned out. Very adorable and you can see this little guy up close and personal. Unlike real badgers which are not very friendly despite being adorable.

A little Saw-whet Owl linocut I'm working on. I'm going to try to print tomorrow in the print studio.

A Northern Rough Wing Swallow linocut I finished carving this morning. I hope to spend a bunch of time printing Tuesday night in my studio.

A little Downy Woodpecker I finished carving. This linocut will be a part of my show at the Mainstope Gallery on April 4th at 5pm. I see these tiny friendly woodpeckers in my neighborhood all the time. #linocut #printmaker #printmaking #art #artist #blockprinting #bird #wildlifeart #wildlifeartist

Howdy! Now that I am back in the print studio here is a little killdeer that I finished carving yesterday evening. I'm going to print this for my show at the Mainstope Gallery on April 4th at 5pm. I'd love to see you all there :) #linocut #printmaker #printmaking #art #artist #bird #killdeer #print

It's hard to capture how big, but here are two finished and varnished panels. I delivered these two already and I am wrapping up the last panel today and then delivery is tomorrow. #mural #muralist #art #artist #painter #montana #wildlifeart #westernart #painting #montanaart #buttemontana #birdart

I've been pretty busy working on this project. The reception is March 28 at 5pm in Butte at Clearwater Credit Union if you are local.

They wanted a conservation message and these are 36 native birds to Butte.

Thanks!

It's kind of hard to capture how big this project is. I'm trying to wrap up for delivery in just two weeks. Hoping to finish all the background in the next two days and start finishing birds which is the best part.

Little update. Still working every day on this project. I am using clouds to create movement and unity across the 3 panels. Since this is meant for the side of a building I also hope it draws your eyes from the street.
